It might also cut the legs out from under the 11 o'clock nightly military bashing. I'm not sure we should want that. I'm convinced that the public is on to the media, and that all the reporters are doing with this "gotcha" stuff is alienating more viewers and more readers. They are already down in the credibility charts with the used-car salesmen. What this article is pointing out is that they're getting real close to having one of their own arrested and tried for aid-and-comfort. I think when that happpens and it will the press will be stunned to find out that the public sides with the military. |
I'd rather instigate neutrality as their only means of survival, rather then allow them to check their wallets before deciding what to report next.
And we might not be able to wait until those sizable wallets run dry. so... A little nudging here, a little there... Things gotta change! :-)
Already knowing it hasn't even slowed them down yet. Well, Danny and Peter appear to have gotten the msg. :-)
