Maclean's: How Bush became the new Saddam

The difference between U.S. media and Canadian media:

The current cover story of Maclean's features a look at how George W. Bush has become a Saddam-like figure in Iraq. The cover picture is Bush dressed up like Saddam right down to the mustache.

Read the piece before you decide on the story's validity. The analysis is strong and well thought out, whether you agree or not.

But the question I've been asking is whether the U.S. mainstream media would ever run a story like this. Despite the "land of the free" concept, the conclusion is that no U.S. MSM outlet would even dream of doing something like this.

Maclean's is as mainstream a news magazine as there is in Canada. But Canadian media isn't as afraid to run stories as U.S. media is. Fortunately, the alternative media isn't afraid.
