This is not a joke or urban legend. The video is available.

Next time some no-nothing tells you that themedia are not leftist, Anti-Americans, remind them of this.

In 2004, they sit and wringtheir hands about American in Iraq. A few years ago, they were willing to cause those casualties.

My personal feelings; if you're not an American first, you're not an American.

American CASUALTIES in Iraq

[Tijeras_Slim]

They can come looking for a story at my place. They'll be on the front page the next day.

[IamJustright]

I'd probably go to jail for saying who I would sacrifice for a story.

[jennyjenny]

Isn't it just great these American soldiers provide Mr. Wallace and Mr. Jennings the freedom to be "journalists"?

[sevry]

Mike Wallace went on to say " I'm not an American first, I'm a reporter first.

So he's a . . stateless American?

And, obviously, they have aided in the killing of US troops, even in Afganistan and Iraq by their coverage which favors the enemy.

[SandRat]

And it was the URINALISTS just so they could get the next sad news story for the front page or start of the TV news.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

So, like, why do you think these reporters get to hang out with the enemy so often? Do you think Ernie Pyle would have been able to sit down with Hitler?

Mike Wallace went on to say " I'm not an American, I'm a Communist!"

[ApplegateRanch]

Just remember who some of the "sources" are that they protect, and this is no surprise.

I remember about a case several years ago where the reporter went to jail for contempt for refusing to name a source who was either witness to, or complicit in, a murder. Several others over the years.

Can't compromise a confidential source, you know; that might have a chilling effect and all that rot.

Only chilling effect I want for the "reporters" who subscribe to this "ethic" is their body cooling at the end of a rope.

This is not a joke or urban legend.

It is NOT a joke or urban legend.

I recall very well how shocked and angry I was to hear the media willing to sacrifice our American military for a story. I'll never forgive them for that.

[Jack Deth]

I remember seeing that PBS Roundtable, MindBender. I believe that it was hosted by Dr. Benno Schmidt.

One of the major topics was a hypothetical regarding Pathfinders on the beach prior to Invasion.

Would members of the media announce to the world that the Pathfinders were on the way? To a man, every member of the media at the Roundtable replied "Yes'.

I forget which admiral replied "You'd have a real hard time doing it from the brig!"

Another hypothetical was the possibility of an American reporter having knowlege of an ambush. Should the reporter be required to let American forces know of the impeding attack? Again, the answer was an unanimous. But "No!"

The hypothetical was taken a step further. In that, should US forces be used to free the reporter after the ambush had occurred and prisoners were taken.

Again, a unamimous "Yes!".

Personally, I'd have busted in on the Bad Guys. Then put a bullet in Mike Wallace's forehead. But that's just me.

Jack.

I watched the entire sickening thing on PBS. If this is the one I believe it is it was hosted by a Harvard Prof. Wallace flat out said that he would not warn Americans of an ambush if he were with an enemy unit as a reporter. He's an absolutre POS. Ask Patty Hearst if this way of thinking really works, Mikey.

[coramdeo]

I saw the PBS show. Here is the rest of the story. I am paraphrasing this, but it is essentially true.

The moderator later asked one of the military officers what he would do if a journalist was caught in a crossfire and the enemy was shooting at him (the reporter). Would he risk the lives of American soldiers to rescue him? Without missing a beat, the officer replied, "Of course not, he's not an American, he's a journalist." After a short pause, he said "Of course we would try to rescue him. We have a different code we live by."

A few of the journalist on the panel, to their credit, looked humiliated.

[John Thornton]

Let's change the scenario. The reporters are on patrol with the old South African government. They come upon Nelson Mandela's militia about to be ambushed. What do they do?

[Fiddlstix]

Mike Wallace went on to say " I'm not an American first, I'm a reporter first.

Correction:

Mike Wallace went on to say " I'm not an American".
End of story.

[lilylangtree]

Thanks for the refresher.

[marineguy]

a little more reading on turncoats Jennings and Wallace. It's really too bad that Wallace wasn't the one with the memos.

Is this the same guy on FNS?

[DustyMoment]

The questioner, Charlie Ogletree, a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School .. said to Mr. Jennings, "Peter, what do you do?" Peter thought for a full 10 or 15 seconds and then said, "Well, I'd probably lose my life for doing it, but I would call, I would shout, and I would warn my American countrymen what was about to happen to them, that they were about to walk into an ambush."

Am I missing something? Jennings says he would warn the troops. Only Wallace says he wouldn't (whithin the confines of the excerpt). But the title says that BOTH Wallace and Jennings would help an enemy kill US soldiers to get a story.

If I misread this, somebody please clue me in. It looks to me as though Wallace is the only traitor.
