Yes, speaking of the press, The Perfect War could not be complete without a Fourth Estate who will submissively look the other way.
One often hears of the revolving door between the military industry and government, but it seems the lines between The State and The State Press are becoming increasingly blurred.
The Weekly Standard has elevated this haze to an art form. For example, once David Frum tired of writing for the Standard, he became a speechwriter for President Bush. After all, why write for a political journal that Bubba wouldn’t even use to paper train his Retriever when one can write speeches for The President of The United States? How many ears were elucidated by Frum’s “axis of evil”? Surely many orders of magnitude more than if he had written them in the pages of the Standard.
