McCafferty is a PC liberal, therefore the puke media's darling.
Every other day, he's blabbing away on PBS or NBC or some other alphabet.
He also wrote at length for the New Yorker many years ago criticizing Operation Desert Storm.
I think the point Cafferty is making is that if the News Reporting goes against what the military is doing, then it is a bad situation.
The classic example is the Tet Offensive in 1968. Some say that LBJ listened to Walter Cronkite and ignored what others were telling him about the Vietnam War.
The Tet Offensive was a disaster to the VC, but Jane Fonda, John Kerry, and others made it into a Communist victory.
I consider the fact that General Cafferty is pointing out the animosity show how utterly pathetic the US Media is. Fox News has been the exception, which why it is number 1.
But I won't argue that Cafferty is a liberal PC General. He was very glowing in his praise of the performance of US Troops, and he made some other interesting points (that foreign fighters and other terrorist groups are beeing badly whipped in Iraq).
Your point is well taken about Cafferty being a liberal PC General, but I consider it important that our troops seem to have righteous anger at the US Media, which should be on their side.
It was totally irresponsible of NBC to put the grieving Uncle of one of these servicemen on TV this morning. What a person says at a time of grief (the Uncle) should be taken with a grain of salt. THAT IS WHY NBC WAS IRRESPONSIBLE.
..However, I heard McCafferty say very strongly TODAY! that he believed Haditha is a hoax! and that our men in the brig need to be released NOW!
That doesn't sound very PC to me.
I confused McCafferty with McInerny....
It was McInerny on FOX this morning.
So sorry!
