The worst mistake the Times ever made was buying the lies the Bush administration fed it about Iraq having WMD. The Times has apologized for the error.
Where is Fox News' apology for its constant advocacy for a war based on lies? Where is Fox News' apology for its demonization of anyone who dared question the administration's line? The New York Times made the mistake of trusting that an American president would never doctor the evidence for war. Fox News, on the other hand, acted as the Ministry of Propaganda and the Ministry of Fear for the Bush administration. The blood of the thousands dead in Iraq is on the hands of Fox News more than any other media outlet.

A war based on lies? That's a good one. No WMDs were found, that doesn't mean there weren't any and it certainly doesn't mean it was the entire basis for the war. I suppose it's convenient for you to forget about the animalistic treatment of the Iraqi citizens by the barbarian Hussean. It's just as easy for you to forget about how the UN castrated itself by failing to act on any of the many sanctions and denouncements they made concerning Hussein and his henchmen.

Memories of convenience is one of the cornerstones of the new anti-American movement disguised as the Democrat party.

The New York Times would have reported on Bush's administration claiming WMDs even if they knew it was wrong. In fact, any chance they got to promote you Castro-loving commune-monkeys' agenda would've been cherished by the hacks at that rag factory.

The blood of the thousands dead in Iraq is not on the hands of Fox News, rather it's soaked into the hands of worthless papers like the NYT and people like yourself who've demoralized the brave soldiers who are trying to do their job. You, every person who writes for TV Squad, and a large majority of the commenters here feel a sense of self-satisfied smugness every time one of your liberal news outlets reports on another setback in the war while conveniently passing on all the actual progress that's being made, and continues to be made.

Talk to a soldier who's actually been there and you'll find out that they're frustrated by the lack of positive coverage in American news outlets. They're confused by the abscence of reporting on both the real progress made in Iraq and how the Iraqi people are grateful for what they're doing. It's sad when fellow citizens of American troops berate the job they're doing while the citizens of the country we're fighting in support them so completely.

Check your hands, they're the truly bloody ones.

This is a joke, right?

"No WMDs were found, that doesn't mean there weren't any and it certainly doesn't mean it was the entire basis for the war."

Franklin, respectfully, can you specify when another basis for going to war was stated by the administration? There are many countries in which atrocities against citizens take place every day, not to mention governments which undermine democracy and free-market capitalism.

Opposition to nation-building has been a mantra of the republican party for decades. George Bush even stated during his 2000 campaign, "I'm not so sure the role of the United States is to go around the world and say, 'This is the way it's got to be.'"

Rationales have been put forth with the help of Fox news to sway public opinion (you know all about that), but they were never presented to congress or the American public to make a case for war.

Beat me to it... who is actually surprised by this?

Good question, but why let facts get in the way of a good Fox bashing, right?

Oh wait, then they would be guilty of what they always claim Fox news is about.

(BTW.. I am VERY dissapointed that they hired Laura Ingram.)
