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.
Is it not the soldiers job to beat the enemy and would he not be giving aid and comfort to the enemy if he didn't target their reporter?
Most of the soldiers dying in Iraq are being targeted so that their deaths bring maximum propaganda value. Target the reporters and cameramen and the enemy forces wither on the vine. No reporters=no enemy will to fight because they know they can't win a military victory and will only hold out for "victory by demoralization" and we know who their Generals are.
There were no reporters in the Balkans and they admitted that they didn't want to go there for fear of transmitting back images that might demoralize the public resolve for the jihad against the Christian Serbs.
This is exactly what motivates useful idiots in the press, like that NYTimes slime investigative reporter, Peter whathisname, who was accused last week of informing an Al Qaeda front charity that the FBI was about to raid their office. The NYTimes then went to court to protect their reporters phone calls.
"My personal feelings; if you're not an American first, you're not an American."
EXACTLY!!!!!!
You got that right. Your article brings up something I have been wondering every time we see footage of the terrorists in Irag. If we have footage of guys shooting at our soldiers and innocent people, hiding behind buildings with rpg's etc., Why aren't they dead!!! Who is taking the pictures and why aren't our soldiers allowed to KILL THEM!!!
I think all the tv crews in Irag are putting our soldiers in danger. Excuse the rant.

Very true, I remember seeing it originally several years ago, and it blew my mind and any respect for the media.
I have Also seen a Mike Wallace Auto-biography on TV...maybe celebrating like 50 years on TV or something.....in his OWN words, Mike Wallace is saying to the Ayatollah Khomeni.."Ayaltollak, these words are not mine, but Anwar Sadat....he thinks you are insane!...and a few days later the Ayatollahs men assassinated Sadat". I SWEAR this is ALMOST the excat words!! Hetold the Ayatollah what sadat thought of him so the Ayatollah HAD to save face and have Sadat murdered!! Can you or Any Freeper find the show?? It was Mike Wallace talking about Mike Wallace!! <P.Mike Wallace is DESPICABLE!!
Westmoreland should have knocked that kommie's teeth out and brain-dead stomped him into the promise land. Oh Hell!! he should have kicked that Kommie cracker to sleep. We should all be Americans first, last and always anything less is totally unacceptable. Bush/Cheney 2004
