I honestly believe that unlike the newspapers during WWII, CBS would have "broke" the story of D-Day preparations and ensured that Hitler's Nazis, being forewarned, would have slaughtered even more of our troops.

They'd be running interviews with Goebbels..

I think you are right about the media and how they would act during WWII if it were to happen today.

We are seeing it right before our eyes right now.

But not directly. The equivalent of Sen. Clinton's staff would have leaked it to CBS, who would have tipped off a smaller rag such as the New Yorker(with a liberal base that would allow them to get away with it) to take the actual heat. The New Yorker would have had a breathtaking story about 'consideration' of an 'extremely risky' 'neo-con driven' military operations involving attacking a beach in an unnamed(to protect soldier lives) occupied country across the English Channel from Great Britain. A plan so risky that the New Yorker has a duty to bring it into public discussion, lest so many of our sons and daughters be killed by foolish bravado. CBS would then claim that they would have sat on the story(being such loyal patriots), but that now that it is out, they had to go ahead and publish pictures of the beach in question, so that the public could have all the facts.
