Maybe the truth hurts.

Sorry, journalists, but you ARE traitors.

Great quote from somebody on C-Span last week - "Those who put too great a distance between their philosophers and their warriors will have their speaking done by cowards and their fighting done by fools"......

Journalism's Moral Collapse
New York Post Online ^ | December 5, 2005 | Ralph Peters
"Actions have consequences. Today's journalists refuse to accept that the rule applies to them. The wages of irresponsible journalism are death — for others. Expose a crucial clandestine operation, shatter a policy or wreck a struggling state, and you get a Pulitzer Prize. The motto of journalists today is "Nothing's ever our fault."

The republic suffers."

Peters hands them their heads.

Only bad news sells? Then why is circulation dropping like a rock and "journalists" being laid off right and left? Do you suppose it's because the public knows that you are NOT informing the public but only pushing your own agenda to the detriment of this country?

wonders out loud why there is a disconnect between the media and the miltiary

He should talk with the troops. (I think he really knows). My son, who returned from Iraq in October, said they hated the embedded reporters because they were not their to report the news, but to catch them doing something wrong. One reporter and his cameraman were forbidden from going on missions for a month because they got themselves in direct fire during a firefight.

I thank your son for his service..

I read it all..the good(thank heavens for FR) and the bad..It is not so much they report misdeeds or missteps all the time about individual soldiers , it is just that they leap to the negatives and do not emphasize the positives being achieved. I wouldn't want some of the reporters embedded in my unit either

I am so proud of our troops.

Well said. I am awaiting their consequences. They have much to atone for.

Actually, from what I hear they are being laid off "left and left..." :')

The conservatives seem to be doing nicely! Good point, McGavin.
