Is it my job to go over and say this war is terrible and withdrawal is necessary? I don’t necessarily think that is the case. … I don’t necessarily feel that [I should pass judgment] unless there is a clear cut factual element to it. … I have never really saw it as my role, unless something is really egregious and without question wrong.
Translating: So long as it isn't obvious, it is OK for politicians to use me to pass along lies to the America public.
How this unquestioning deference to authority is "liberal" is entirely beyond me.
