After the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. government began mobilizing for an invasion in Iraq which was justified almost entirely on questionable intelligence and misleading information, and every major news organization became complicit in the path to war – except one. Knight Ridder was a consortium of 31 newspapers across the country, and four of their reporters asked unasked questions, tapped ignored sources and were skeptical when others were convinced of the existence of WMDs.
