Pew Poll

Yeah, I know it's Powerline, but I also know not a lot of people were reading blogs during the holiday. Well, at least those of us away from our computers.

It's related to the Pew Poll and where various groups fall relative to Iraq and the War on Terror. No big surprise where many of the groups fall. Journalists are the one that I find most telling though. This from the Washington Times article quoted:
The public is evenly divided on whether the war in Iraq has helped or hindered efforts to combat terrorism, 44 percent thought the conflict has helped the effort and the same number thought it has hurt. In the press, 68 percent said the war had hurt the effort, and 22 percent said it had helped.
Funny thing is, with the press opinions and how they completely fail to provide a balanced report of the situation, it really looks like they are trying to make Iraq into another Vietnam scenario. In fact, wouldn't the recent calls for immediate withdrawal by some democrats also fit in that scenario?
