Nominations are requested for Free Republic's Peter Arnett Awards 'honoring' those reporters, news organizations and public figures whose reporting and statements have given aid and comfort to the enemy and undermined morale in the war on terrorism like Mr. Arnett did last year with his infamous interview in Baghdad saying the Americans were losing the war against Saddam.
Nominations will be accepted until 6 p.m. EDT Wednesday, April 28. Voting will commence later that evening with the cutoff time to be announced when the voting thread is posted.
Please provide a source link or documentation where possible.
A couple nominees to get things started:
The Washington Post for its cheerleading of the so-called antiwar movement. Nearly every prominent antiwar leader has been sympathetically profiled in the Style section and nearly every antiwar protest, no matter how small, gets reported on in glowing terms. The Post has never reported in depth about the background, funding and true agendas of the major antiwar groups.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) for his 'Iraq is Bush's Vietnam' speech. Kennedy's speech was used as a rallying cry by Muqtada Al Sadr who threatened that "Iraq will be another Vietnam for America."
The winners will be announced at the sixth annual freep of liberal bias in the media held outside the White House Correspondents Association dinner by the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com on Saturday, May 1.
