Texas Oilman With Interest In Iraq Oil Lobbied Key Senator On Iraq War
But don't worry-- the oilman was anti-war since he was in bed with Saddam Hussein, and the Senator he lobbied was none other than Teddy Kennedy, so there's absolutely no story here.
See, if an oilman persuaded someone to speak in favor of the war because he hoped to get contracts in Iraq after Saddam was deposed, that would be a story. But here? A rich oilman convincing a Senator to keep Saddam in power so the oilman could continue doing business and getting rich? No story at all.
See how that works? Nuance. They get to decide what the news is. They're The Deciders.
