I don't think you're ready yet for an answer. I will give you this to chew on. You know how the president grants special access to certain reporters for personal interviews, while denying others? (That's a hint.)

Let's give it a rest while you calm down. In the meantime, think about how the MSM covered the war period from 1942 through 1945.

Take it slowly and don't get overheated. I'll be back later to review your ideas.

If you'd stopped after the third word, you would've made an absolutely true statement. But you kept your mouth running instead...

Here's the problem: the press might not decide to play your game, in your way. And they can make it stick. They can simply report every bit of unflattering news from overseas, give the impression that we're losing the war, and then make it look like the military's trying to cover it up. And your plan would help.

Let's give it a rest while you calm down.

I'm so chill, I'm cryogenic.

Meanwhile, we still have people screeching for Sites to be murdered...

...and you're telling me to calm down?

Does the phrase Yob' tvoyu mat' have any special significance for you?

In the meantime, think about how the MSM covered the war period from 1942 through 1945.

In the meantime, think about the conditions that obtained from December 8th, 1941 to September 2nd, 1945.

There was a specific legal condition the United States was in during that time. The press operated under legal strictures unique to that condition. Those stirctures and that condition do not obtain at this time.

You don't have an answer. You just have a whole bunch of juvenile spite.

Thankfully, our military and government is run by grownups who understand how to deal with the media.

The adults are talking now, sweetie. Maybe in a few years you'll be able to join them.
