“We Have Made Remarkable Progress” – GWB Video Smackdown

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


Viral videos have a power that partisan media lacks. If a video succinctly makes a point about Bush’s record in Iraq, thousands or even millions of people, regardless of party affiliation, may decide to spend a minute and a half to check it out. All it takes is a click of the mouse.

An excellent article in a magazine, however, requires finding a copy and reading for half an hour. Too often, the people willing to make that investment already agree with the article’s point.

You tell me. What catches your attention — the video below (spotted on TAPPED) or this article?

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
