Thanks for the great post.

David Horowitz is live guest hosting for Dennis Prager at the moment discussing the contribution of the NYT to the cause of our enemies.

Yes, why isn't the MSM hot on the trail of terrorists rather than on America, GWB and the American military?

I believe it comes down to the simplicity of laziness, elitism and stupidity.

Declare war so we can deal with these traitors appropriately.

"....the naivete of the mainstream news media..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is NO naivete here at all. Only outright treason.

The naive and ignorant media takes liberty lightly. Let them make their case for freedom of speech under Islamic rule or under other state-run media outlets. If the left-wing media continues waging its arrogant, anti-American war, the voice that they assume it is their right to have will be stifled forever.

If we don't start paying attention to the enemy within, it could very well take us all down.

Someone must be lurking at FR. We've been saying the same thing.

It seems Bush may be...he made the statment that Amnesty International is nothing but an orginaztion of people that hate America.

The terrorists certainly know how to capitalize on the naivete of the mainstream news media, as well. All one has to do is to read passages of the Koran to see that adherents are instructed to use any means necessary to deceive the "disbelievers" or non-Muslims. The practice even has a name - it's known as "al-Takeyya." Chilling tales have been told by former Muslims about the cold-blooded lies told to "infidels" in the name of spreading Islam. Whether it be Palestinian terrorists battling Israel or al-Qaeda terrorists attacking the United States, all use deception to defeat their enemies.

Sounds like the real source of all the accusations of ethnic cleansing and genocide we used to read about Serbs practicing against the poor, beleaguered slammites in Bosnia and Kosovo. Remember the stories about "rape factories" and slammite women moving on conveyer belts past rape stations and what not?

And he hit the nail on the head. Their hatred for America could not be any clearer.

It is true that AI is full of people that hate America, but Bush's quote today was that the Koran-flushing claims were made by the terrorists, who hate America.

The MSM tries to report the "story" but ends up being the "story." It is shocking/refreshing enough that a growing majority of Americans no longer view the MSM as neutral arbiters of information. Is is even more shocking that increasingly the MSM is viewed as an enemy of America.

Things have really heated up here in Canada to the point that I won't watch television news because my blood pressure can't take it, and I'm not willing to buy a new TV every week after having chucked a brick through it.

You think your MSM is bad, you should hear the bile that pours out of our living room sets every night.

To add, it's because your leftist cousins have hooked up with our leftist cousins. Canada is very influenced by America, more than you know, and the disease that has infiltrated America's media has spilled over the border in the last 40 years, with programs like M*A*S*H and all that other leftist claptrap. The leftists have been on the march for a long time and now we are reaping the sick rewards. All those movie makers like Oliver Stone and the like....

That's my favorite part. Americans are waking up to the fact that our media is against us and for the left in this country. They are trying to pull another Vietnam media tirade, and they're getting busted left and right for it now.

News to the MSM...this ain't the 60's.

I'll buy laziness and elitism, but not stupidity.

The MSM knows exactly what it is doing. It is calculated and deliberate.

Bush also said AI was relying on claims made by released prisoners and he said AIs charges were absurd.

Did anyone watch the media and the Free press presentation on CSpan 5/24/05 ?(just rebroadcasted). John Conyers held a meeting with the likes of Al Franken, David Brooks, Randi Rhodes, etc. (I was so amazed to think they know what we're thinking. As if the Downing Street memo is some kind of smoking gun. Those who pay attention know Iraq's been on the radar screen since Feb 1998).
Folks, watch out for the "Fairness Doctrine" to reappear.
Anyway, I digress... Articles like this and "Sanctuary" on www.ejectejecteject.com need to be publicized to let our military know we are aware of what they face.

I would argue we should sharpen up our aim and the graphic might be persons. The media is a shotgun blast. Shultzberger and other individuals should become the targets.

These individuals are the worst enemies of America. They cause more real harm than North Korea or France or even maybe Iran. Kimjungill is a wannabe compared to Mr Shultzberger and the ability to do real harm.

Thomas Curley of the AP is also a super bad guy. not to be neglected is Richard M. Smith, editor in chief of Newsweek.

Uh huh! You know what bert; I've given some thought to what it would take to tear down the Ministry of Truth(although they seem to be doing a pretty good job on their own). I've come to believe it's a chicken and egg thing. Who gets the pink slips first, management or employees? I would submit that neither alone would get the job done because the internal battles would pretty much lead to a status quo. That is, it would take a complete house cleaning to exorcise the cancer. Then again, the patient may be terminal ;^)

The rest of your points I agree with wholeheartedly. There is no enemy, foreign or domestic, that is more of a danger to our culture and way of life than the old media.

It's time for them to go ;^)
