She is on her own, with only the support of her fellow journalists, citizens and fellow defenders of a free press and free speech. Remember, it was independent journalists like Sarah Olson who were standing up to the false and deceptive propaganda of the Bush administration before the March 2003, attack on Iraq. But the views and reports of the independent press were not what the vast majority of the American public was receiving. The independent press was interviewing the war critics, pointing out the lies and fallacies that were being reported as fact or truth on the mainstream TV networks and in the front pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post. It is the reporting and opinions expressed in the independent press that could have prevented the war, had the public heard, seen or read their reports.
