This will be a continuing theme as the MSM hypes McClellan’s book. Everything in it is true, except the parts we don’t like! From Media Matters on David Gregory’s defense of the press pre-war:

Defending “the media” and their performance in the run-up to the Iraq war, NBC News chief White House correspondent David Gregory asserted during the May 28 edition of MSNBC’s Hardball, “I think the questions were asked. I think we pushed. I think we prodded. I think we challenged the president. I think not only those of us in the White House press corps did that, but others in the rest of the landscape of the media did that.” He then said, “If there wasn’t a debate in this country, then maybe the American people should think about, why not? Where was Congress? Where was the House? Where was the Senate?” In fact, a majority of congressional Democrats voted against the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq in October 2002 — as Media Matters for America noted in previously highlighting comments by a Hardball participant ignoring opposition by congressional Democrats to the war authorization bill. Of the 258 Democrats in Congress at the time, 147 voted against the resolution, while 110 voted for it. One Democrat did not vote.
