What about a strip about how the Gulf of Tonkin TOTALLY justified the Vietnam war…..oh wait….the Gulf of Tonkin incident NEVER HAPPENED. So rather than ignoring what is FALSE (and for the love of all that is holy – please read the original RS article and all of the follow up articles in the washington post before talking about the larger “narrative”..) – focus on the problem. IF whatever you say is a major problem (and I am NOT saying it is not) – then WHY WHY WHY use a story that was shaky from the outset and appears to be demonstrably FALSE? If problem is REAL – no need for FAKE but “accurate” stories.
