from 9/12/2001 until sometime in 2006 i think, the american television apparatus across the board exploited this passivity to sell you first the "war on terror" then, famously, the war in iraq.

I would support what you were saying until this argument. While the lead-up to the war the media bit on every tiny piece of incorrect-information, post-start the media quickly turned to the opposite.
My example was the "Quagmire: Iraq" crap many in the media spewed when our offensive was slowed for 2 weeks because of a dust storm. It flew in the face of fact when it was the fastest advance of any military in the history of history.... declaring it a quagmire instead.
