So have I got this right?

Carol says you can't trust to the accuracy of any of your broadcasters, even your NPR, and therefore people need to work on searching out more reliable sources of information if they want to get at the truth.

And Don, in total contrast, is saying that you can't trust to the accuracy of any of your broadcasters, even your NPR at times, but that NPR is a lot better than the others - and therefore people need to work on searching out more reliable sources of information if they want to get at the truth.

As for the suggestion that Bush in the run up to the scheduled end of his reign is going to be inhibited from attacking Iran because he is terrified of being impeached, which would just mean he had to go a little bit earlier - that strikes me as slightly delusional. (I rather suspect he might wait until after the actual election. Plenty of time to start a war before the new president takes over.)

I remember some people on the Mudcat reassuring us that there would not in fact be a war on Iraq, but that it was all a big bluff. That struck me as delusional too.
