It's like you're saying that we're not really having any real problems, but the press wants us to think that we're having real problems, so, yeah, we're having real problems, even though we're not having any real problems except for the press telling us we're having real problems . . .

Are you one of those people who thinks we would have won in Vietnam if only the press hadn't caused so much trouble? How interesting!
