Abstract

This article reflects upon a growing trend of complicity between the press and U.S. governmental actions. The author criticizes reputable newspapers for accepting the U.S. President George W. Bush Administration's claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq without question. The author questions why Washington press were not skeptical of the Administration's policies. Media representatives claim that it was due to a competition in ratings.
