Up-is-Down, Black-is-White, Pollack and O'Hanlon are War Critics

The media has again demonstrated its refusal to research personal history of the people it covers. Case in point - when did Ken Pollack and Michael O'Hanlon become War Critics and Bush opponents? This is truly 1984 thinking. Black is White, Up is down and war supporters are actually war critics. Glenn Greenwald does an excellent job of dissecting their actual views of Iraq and the Bush administration.

Think Progress has an interesting article on Tucker Carlson's defense of Pollack and O'Hanlon, particularly naming Glenn Greenwald and slamming "hysterical bloggers." Hey, that's what Carlson does. He earns his living as an administration cheerleader, and Pollack and O'Hanlon are the propaganda flavor of the day!
