Columbia Journalism Review: The Lies We Bought
THE UNCHALLENGED "EVIDENCE" FOR WAR

"Unfortunately, the politicians and their p.r. people know
all too well the propaganda dictum related twenty years ago
by Peter Teeley, press secretary to then VP George H.W. Bush...
'You can say anything you want during a debate,
and 80 million people hear it.
If “anything” turns out to be false and journalists correct it,
so what? Maybe 200 people read it, or 2,000 or 20,000.' "
