Al-Jazeera is to Arab world news as Islam is to Arab world culture.

Many Americans also expect our actions to have positive effects immediately or it's a "miserable failure" according to the likes of leftists and certain prez candidates. During WWII it was many months before we had positive news as Japan and Germany kicked us around for awhile. I wonder what the leftists would have said then. After one year the traitors would have been asking why we hadn't caught Hitler or Tojo yet.

The mainstream media is making the same mistake now with the effort in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sir, it is not a MISTAKE on the part of the mainstream media, it is simply the result of institutionalized anti-American sentiment within its ranks.

The process of becoming a leftist involves the psychological disavowal of one's American citizenship in order to become a "citizen of the world". Many of us on the right are mystified at the apparent lack of anger exhibited by the pundit class, but we wouldn't be if we understood that they are not angry over 9-11 because it WASN'T THEIR COUNTRY WHICH WAS ATTACKED.

The media is not going to change until the market forces them to, and unfortunately there are still buyers for what they are selling.

"al Qaeda's number-two man, Ayman al-Zawahiri...said that al Qaeda forces had the US on the run. He declared that US forces were on the run in Afghanistan and elsewhere. He even suggested that we were on the run in our own homeland."

Yes, that's what the Democrats and their spokespersons in The American Propaganda Machine (also knows as the "Mainstream Newsmedia") have also been saying.

"One has to believe, with the continued broadcasts of ridiculous propaganda..., that" the Democrats and their parrots, the so-called "journalists" of The American Propaganda Machine, "would have a credibility problem."

They do. And they wonder why.
