Isikoff and Corn wrote the definitive book on how the Bush administration manufactured the Iraq war, Hubris in 2006. It was a legitimately ground breaking book becuase war fever was only just beginning to break and not many mainstream journalists were prepared to say the pretext for war was completely fabricated.
Isikoff also did a lot of good reporting on Gitmo and torture during the war on terror as well. Its genuinely disappointing, and emblematic, that he abandoned all of that to become an Obama admin cheerleader and then went all in on Russiagate.
That's why I'm so perplexed by him. Is it the old "no one is immune to propaganda"? Did he just get old? Did he smell where the blood in the water was and hopped on board with mainstream liberals?
Basically I don't want to end up like this guy and it frightens me to think I might
They've spent their entire lives within that framework, and they're old as shit. So they can critique the inefficiencies of the empire, but ultimately it must exist.
