Consider the source: CBS Philadelphia. Upon reading the entire article, I don't see any major ciritism of Bush or the war. This is a political hit piece. The headline doesn't reflect what was said.

"The comments, made after a Veterans Day speech at the Union League in Philadelphia on Friday, came at the same time the Pennsylvania senator stressed he wasn’t trying to distance himself from the president, who spoke moments earlier about 80 miles away at the Tobyhanna Army Depot."

"The senator criticized the media for blowing the issue out of proportion, and for what he said was unbalanced reporting on the Iraq war." NB: The headline makes no mention of Santorum being critical of the media.

"The media only report the death toll, Santorum said. While conceding that is “a piece of the story,” he questioned how the public would have felt about World War II if the media had reported only the body count and not news of cities liberated by the Allies."

I have a problem with the WH's lackluster efforts to educate the public about why we are in Iraq and their failure to more forceful in their response to the baseless charges of the Dems. I have a bigger problem with a partisan MSM and unpatriotic Dems who are using the war to gain political advantage.

I thought the same thing - the headline is a distortion. You'd think Freepers would finally know by now that you can't believe the MSM!!! One little sentence about mistakes were made (no one denies this) and the headline focuses on the one sentence. It could just as well have said: "Santorum Critical of MSM" and he'd be receiving vast praises. DON'T TRUST THE MEDIA!
