Watching Fox & Friends this morning, the irony was inescapable. There they were, three lefties (especially Julian) self-righteously huffing and puffing about how this hurt "journalistic ethics." To those three, I say, there's scarcely an ethic among the three of you, and certainly none in MSM. In fact, they wouldn't know an ethic if it reached up and bit them on the nose.

Planting stories might have its drawbacks, but I think I understand why they did it. For the life of me, though, I can't figure out why the rest of the media plants, exaggerates, and completely fabricates the stories they do.

An anchor chair. Hmmmm, those words have a Rather (no pun intended)(not much anyway) ominous connotation.

Don't forget that in 1986, CBS was hungry to air the first video of the Chernobyl plant after the explosion.

They paid $10,000 for aerials of the smoking plant.... which turned out to be aerials of cement factory in northern Italy.

After all, just because it was set in the mountains (Chernobyl is in flat, mildly rolling country) and there was a rooftop sign in non-Cyrillic characters, and Fiats, Lancias and cement trucks everywhere, who could have known?

Remember, CBS's "Man on the scene in Dallas, our new reporter Dan Rather...." announced that JFK had been pronounced dead about 25 minutes before he was.

Idiots

How's this for an idea? Lynch records a three minute piece every day.

In the first minute Lynch names all of the large American media orgs he is releasing the tape to and states he has urged them to play the followng 2 minute reporting piece on a prime time news show slot or print the text of the report the next day, if the MSM outlet was a newspaper.

In the two minute report segment, Lynch talks directly to the American people on behalf of our military in Iraq. He reports what has occurred or been accomplished, good, bad or ugly, over the past 24 hours.
This takes the White House out of the news reporting cycle and thus extinguishes the left's noise about Bush/Cheney, etc. And, for those MSM left leaning outlets that choose to not show or print what our military are truly accomplishing, I would envision Fox News running their commercials, and the Washington Times their advertizement stating THEY are showing or printing the daily reports every day...and they can name all of their non participating competitors who are not. and urge viewers or paper readers to exclusively get first hand reporting of exactly what is happening by our true "boots on the ground".

And, this approach would also leave the disingenuous Democrats in a bind. How do they continue to say they support the troops (we all know they loath the military)if they start criticizing the reporting of our men in uniform?

"...everything we do is based on fact..."

And if you are a soldier who operates otherwise, your life will be very, very short.

The MSM s don't get that. Their lives will be very short too, and they are already suffering decreased ccirculation and audience numbers.

When the facts are there for all to see....the MSM looks absolutely ridiculous. I love it!

Reality that is not spinable, hey, thats not fair!

LOL

Why hasn't there been a full investigation regarding CBS and the forged documents. And why hasn't anyone been charged?

ronnie earle is too busy going after Tom DeLay, because DeLay is a Republican.

Challenge the MSM to a contest.

They present all stories that the military published that were false, and we present all the stories the MSM printed that were false.

It will be no contest!

And....the White House is a follower of the FR..also...at least I have heard that from several show hosts...

SO...they are being bombarded by Tony's column...and our remarks as well.

Their funding HAS been stopped...

They are being privately funded..that is the main reason that they shouldn't get the airtime and coverage they get.

They are always shown on C-span still, even though they are basically just a bunch of private citizens bitchin!!!

What the critics are making of point of NOT saying is this: the stories are the TRUTH...

Whether they like the idea of having to pay a paper to run stories or not, they CANNOT call this propaganda..because all we are doing, is "advertising" the good news...instead of just letting the Iraqis keep believing that everything is doom and gloom, all over Iraq.

Hey---what's wrong with an article that proclaims the "NEW AND IMPROVED" Iraq?---as long as it is all true?

You left out CNN! Remember Eason Jordan. CNN was in Iraq for 12 years and NEVER TOLD THE PUBLIC about the horrors that were going on there.

The media is scum!

JUST when we think the good guys have gotten the message that they need to QUIT apologizing and agonizing over every perceived affront that the dems and MSM throw at them... -----

Right.............. time to kick some serious ass!

This country/world is in real trouble.

WHY are these people given the platform to do this???

I hate to say it......... they ARE the platform!

The media has been "one world " for at least eight decades!

Kill America......... the bankers, the money lenders rule.

ask yourself...................... why is there NEVER a one hour story in the media on the illegal, never ratified income tax?

Why is there NEVER anything ................ oh, I quit.
