THE PRESS' PECULIAR 'PATRIOTISM'

Excerpt:
January 12, 2006 -- You wouldn't know it from mainstream press coverage of the War on Terror, but journalists are actually capable of withholding news when human lives are on the line.
Reporters' lives, that is.
American soldiers, Marines and others fighting the terrorists are on their own.
Take the case of Christian Science Monitor freelance reporter Jill Carroll, 28, who was kidnapped over the weekend in Baghdad.
Carroll was abducted from a Sunni Arab neighborhood Saturday morning — but U.S. papers didn't carry their first accounts of her kidnapping until Tuesday.
At the Monitor's request, major U.S. news outlets, including — no surprise here — The New York Times, observed a "news blackout."
Wow. Thanks, TheForceOfOne!
It reminds me of the deal that Eason Jordan claimed he had with Saddam's regime.
