No, they should be googling the names of the people who actually know what's going on over there, like, you know, the generals running the show. The people who know that the insurgency isn't in it's last throes. The ones who recently testified before congress about impending civil war in iraq.
You don't need to visit any of the websites you listed to know that the administration is generally completely full of shit when it comes to any kind of statement concerning our current situation in iraq. I didn't think that you were so naive. What's funny to me is that you're so selective in your acknowledgement that wartime governments are liars.
Ustwo on hezbollah and the palestinians: Only an antisemitic liberal wouldn't acknowledge that hezbollah is deceptive and the mainstream media is complicit.
Ustwo on the bush administration: Only a cut-and-run liberal would imply that the bush administration might engage in deception. Only a naive liberal would believe that a credible mainstream media has a responsibility to question obvious falsehoods cheney et al put forth.
It's almost like you have some sort of ideological agenda and you choose only to pay attention to facts that support that agenda.
You should make up your mind. Either the media should report without question the information given to them by various sources like the bush administration or hezbollah or they have a responsibility to determine the veracity of the information.
