"Blog of War" co-author Eric Egland takes on CNN
CNN ^ | September 19, 2006 | Maj. Eric and Ania Egland

Posted on 09/19/2006 9:47:35 AM PDT by Interesting Times

My friend Maj. Eric Egland is a contributing author to Blog of War: Front Line Dispatches from Iraq and Afghanistan, a newly-released anthology of stories from military members and their families published by Simon & Shuster. Eric did tours in both countries.

He and his wife Ania were on CNN twice last week talking about the book and about how media coverage of Iraq and Afghanistan bears little resemblance to reality on the ground. They did a terrific job making their case. I suspect we'll be hearing more from Eric in the future...


TOPICS: Culture/Society; Editorial; Foreign Affairs; Government; News/Current Events; War on Terror
KEYWORDS: afghanistan; blogofwar; blogs; ericegland; infowar; iraq; straightreporting; waronterror

Thanks for the information war ping. The Internet is moving information over, under and around the entrenched enemy media.

I loved when Ania said that her faith in Jesus Christ is what allowed her to cope with Eric's deployment. The CNN talking head couldn't change the subject fast enough. LOL!

Yes, I liked the interviewer's mumbled comment that "everybody needs a support group."
