In response to reports that evidence for Iraq's production of Weapons of Mass Destruction,which was the pretence of the Iraq war,was false,and that many of the Bush Administration's pre-war statements about Iraqi WMD were misleading and not supported by the underlying intelligence,Babbin became an ardent detractor of what he described as the "527 Media." He considered this group to be composed of The New York Times , The Washington Post ,ABC,CBS and NBC. He alleges such outlets are little more than an extension of the Democratic National Committee and charges that they willfully distort truth to pursue their own agenda. He argues that the only way to disrupt what he sees as the 527 Media's "narrative" is for elected Republican officials to tell the "truth" about current situations (such as the Iraq War) without it being passed through what he sees as the filter of the 527 Media.
