It was interesting to see how much of the media was cheering the cruise missile strike in Syria. I think socially and economically WaPo is very liberal but for some reason most of the media loves almost anything to do with war.
Real journalism seeking truth, no matter whose agenda that truth might endanger, died years ago.
If it bleeds, it leads.
War makes good for good photo's/footage and is a polarising issue which means you get to make headway whichever side you fall on it.
