This has been building for a long time, but especially since 1994. Americans expected change when the Republicans won the House and the Senate. They started to get it, then the OldDominantLiberalMedia went into overdrive damage control mode. They sacrificed decades of carefully nurtured, if undeserved, credibility in order to keep their guy, Clinton, in the White House.
The war coverage may be the turning point for a majority of Americans, but It started much earlier. This is the dawning of a golden age for America, where Truth and Skepticism will take their rightful predominant place with care for "the chilrun".
