MSNBC "Report" on U.S. "plans" to attack Iran


Want to know what's wrong with our media? Here's a shining example - a "report" on MSNBC about how we have absolutely no plans to attack Iran. My favorite part of this is how MSNBC correspondent Kevin Corke says that despite what his sources tell him, on and off the record, there is no evidence of any plans to attack Iranian nuclear plants, "it makes for interesting conversation."

Can someone explain to me where the news is here?

This is exactly the type of "reporting" that got us into Iraq in the first place - the press doing the administration's bidding. And it doesn't take a political science major to know that the Bush administration would like nothing more than to start up a war with Iran. It's not hard to imagine some Bush strategists smiling from ear to ear upon seeing his "report."

If it weren't for Keith Olbermann, MSNBC would be as unwatchable as CNN and Faux News.
