Hey Ms. Brenner, perhaps you might want to ask why the modern public Internet
ratted out the lies and distortions of Howell Raines and Gerald Boyd at the
New York Times, Dan Rather and Mary Mapes at CBS, and Eason Jordan at CNN--they're not employed anymore. This much more skeptical view of the MSM by the general public is starting to kill newspapers all over the USA, and in fact made your magazine quite unreadable to too many American readers.

Well...if they (journalists) would quit acting like seditious arse clowns there would be no need to go to war against them.
But War is what they started, and so War is what they got...
They just cant handle the truth...ha!

The war is not new. The difference is that today the anti-MSM forces deploy deadlier, swifter and more accurate weapons.

"At the same time, she said, newspapers are facing declining readership, and all members of the mainstream media are seeing their credibility attacked on Web logs, or "blogs."...more and more Americans now receive their news through these partisan channels."
Poor baby!
MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Boo. Hoo. She's just steamed because it is harder and harder for them to get away with their lying and misrepresentation, and that we all know what they are now.

In her speech, Brenner drew parallels between the Watergate era of the 1970s and today's "Plamegate" era, in which the disclosure of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity led to a criminal investigation that saw courts compelling reporters to reveal confidential sources. New York Times reporter Judith Miller was jailed for her initial refusal. Well duh! The Media without any evidence of a crime screams at the top of their lungs that there must be a criminal investigation and when the only material witnesses to the alleged crime refuse to testify and are sent to the pokey like any other citizen would be, they want to cry again!
Someone please point out what section of the Constitution that says that journalists (a self anointed position) are exempt from the laws everyone else has to follow.

It's not a war on journalists, it's a war on stupid people.
Coincidentally, a large fraction of all stupid people are journalists.

Looks like journalism suffers from self-inflicted wounds.

Brenner said that while journalists are well aware of these and other threats to the press, Americans at large have not yet begun to pay attention, and much less realize the potential significance. She said journalists have an obligation to shine a light on what is happening.
So if your panties arent twisted as tight as this shrews over the issue, it's because your feeble mind just cant grasp the implications like hers can. She, and her companions, must work harder to drill their fear into your head.
It is utterly inconceivable to her that people arent working to protect her product because her product sucks ass.
The jig is up, sister. If you cant make it in the marketplace, get a job at NPR.

That would be a dream come true, we could roll the tanks into the NYT, CNN, CBS, etc. and summarily jail those that go willingly and shoot those that resist.

...said Saturday that war is being waged against this nation's press and journalists must stand together to turn back assaults on their freedoms. Gee, and here I thought they had all the freedom they need...
Might he need some cheese to go with that whine?
Of course, if he's referring to the apparent delusion among "journalists" that they are exempt from the consequences of stealing, processing stolen material or compromising national security, in addition to immunity from the consequences of treason and sedition --- well, we mght have us a discussion here.
"Freedoms", indeed!

war is being waged against this nation's press and journalists must stand together to turn back assaults on their freedoms.Someone dares tell journalists that their rights are encumbered by responsibilities, and it's war.
Yet how many journalists support, say, McCain/Feingold because of political reasons?
Free speech for me, but not for thee, indeed.

It's a self-inflicted wound by the MSM, babe. NYT and the rest of the posse threw their own reporters under the bus because they thought they had a "get" on Cheney or Rove. So, they forced the courts to decide issues that would have been better left undecided, because they made clear there is no such thing as a reporters privilege.
The Wall Street Journal predicted this from the beginning.

Hmmm. The WOJ. Has a ring to it.
Although it most accurately would be described as the War on Partisans masquerading as Journalists. WOPMAJ. Just doesn't have the same whimsy.

Look lady [Ms. Brenner]! If a journalist during WWII had "leaked" national security of the US cracking Germany's codes that journalist would have been swinging from an oak tree!
You people are NOT journalists! You are traitors to this great country called the United States of America!
