The media's focus on what the Russian government did or didn't do is appalling.
The media isn't the message, it's part of the enemy.
Since Fox News covered nothing but the hurricane this weekend (and as a survivor of Isabel last year, I'm not trying to belittle their devastation) I was forced to watch CNN for coverage of the school siege. Not once did the reporter refer to the terrorists as Islamic or as terrorists. He used the word 'Arab' once in the lengthy segment I saw, but that was about as close to calling a spade a spade as he got.
