Spinning the Iraqi Election

Howard Kurtz, who writes "Media Notes" for The Washington Post, noted February 1, 2005, that "From the moment the first Iraqis cast their ballots [on January 30, 2005], the administration's supporters and critics were out in force, pushing their preferred story line. True, no one knows yet who won, or how many Sunnis turned out despite boycott threats, and 45 people were killed in a matter of hours. But none of that could stop the message wars," he opined.
