Churchill was a lighting rod for the media’s pre-war carping. His staunch allies in Parliament today would be labeled “neocons.” They too were vilified, nearly demonized as war-loving meanies out to stir up trouble. Nazi threat? You're kidding!
Geoffrey Dawson, chief editor of The Times (of London), thought so, too, about Churchill in the mid-1930s. Churchill's arch critic, there is no single equivalent to Dawson in today's largely Bush-loathing, surely liberal American news media, led by the sometimes stridently anti-Bush New York Times and Washington Post, to say nothing of the 7/24 major TV networks such as CBS.
