It was interesting to see how much of the media was cheering the cruise missile strike in Syria. I think socially and economically WaPo is very liberal but for some reason most of the media loves almost anything to do with war.

It's because WaPo and NYT are just propagandists for the US intelligence apparatus which in turn is just a tool of the multinationals and oligarchs.

Real journalism seeking truth, no matter whose agenda that truth might endanger, died years ago.

That's why Robert Kagan calls himself a neoliberal. Socially liberal but a war hawk.

If it bleeds, it leads.

War makes good for good photo's/footage and is a polarising issue which means you get to make headway whichever side you fall on it.
