Not just the NYT. Every major news org, including right-wing radio shows, were beating the drums of war. If you were against the war effort, like I was, you were called "anti-American".
- Anthony-G 5y agoFrom what I can remember, the notable exception was Knight Ridder¹ who drew a lot of flak for investigating the fabricated stories being used to justify attacking Iraq. In Ireland, the major media outlets accepted (mostly, uncritically) the claims of the neo-cons (I don’t remember them treating seriously the reports of UN weapons inspectors who were actually on the ground in Iraq). The only dissenting voice I remember in the mainstream media was Robert Fisk, writing for the British Independent. ¹ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Ridder#Iraq_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Ridder#Iraq_War
