UPI Headline, and many other publications.."Military mags to call for Rumsfeld.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Four publications of the Military Times Media Group plan to call on U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to resign, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.The Army Times, Air Force Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times will issue the call in an editorial scheduled to run Monday, the newspaper said.
The Chronicle published the text of the editorial on its Web site Friday.
The editorial says the truth about the war in Iraq "been difficult to come by from leaders in Washington." Instead, the editorial says President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld have issued "one rosy reassurance after another."
The editorial notes that Bush recently said Rumsfeld would keep his job for the remainder of Bush's term in office.
"This is a mistake," the editorial says. "Rumsfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public at large."
First, the article implies that four different "military magazines" are calling for Rumsfeld to resign. That is FALSE. These are the same publication except they are "wrapped up" Army Times, Air Force Times, Marine Corps Times, Navy Times.
These are not "professional military publications." Examples of military professional publications are "Proceedings of the Naval Institute" and "The Officer" by the Reserve Officers Association.
The Army Times used to have wide circulations. They are now part of the Gannett Group (USAToday) and the writers for these four "military papers" also work at USAToday!

It is disingenious of the media to treat this paper like it is an arm of the military. Here's an example of their work:
"Sex slaves and the U.S. military " At a time when the U.S. State Department and the United Nations labor to combat the international trafficking in women, the U.S. military supports a flourishing trade in sex slaves in South Korea.

This was their intent, I believe. However, I'm sure the paper doesn't have the clout it once did. What will be difficult for the good guys is that newsies will tout this as "proof" that the military no longer supports the war.
This is one issue that needs to stay on the shelves.
enlightened
What do that mean? It r gots waaaay to many leters in it for me.
When I heard this story, i knew there was something to it. That Catherine Harriage of FauxNews, and all the others are pounding this story like there was no tomorrow. I am starting to really dislike FauxNews immensely. Day in and day out Faux or Fox is trying to sway the elections and that is the reason why I stopped watching all the other Commie stations.
Now on Monday, we'll hear the real story From Rush. It is really pathetic what the Commie media are trying to do.
Because people think it is affiliated with the military in some way, and that if the military is aginst the Republicans, then civilians should be too.
I read my last "Navy Times" the week before my retirement. When I spoke to Sailors, one would always preface a question with, "The Navy Times says. . ." My response always began with this question; "Is the Navy Time in business to inform Sailors or sell newspapers?"
I wouldn't wrap fish in the Navy Times!
Two full days of this non-story before Rush can take it on and clarify it. Is anyone really listening though? Most people don't tune into much political or national news, even this late in the cycle.
....And another thing, Faux, ABC, CBS, NBC, the Communist News Network and PMSNBC all have blood on their hands with their reporting antics. Of course, it is the blood of our fallen and wounded warriors who are fighting for existence as a Free Republic.
All those Leftists, intertwined with Gannett. Pick a name from their board of directors and just see where it goes. It's like the fingers and threads of a Cancer, all over the place.
Incestuous, is what it is.
i do though and it saddens me. Faux News got to where they are and now they forget how they got there just to appease the leftists, to be "Fair and Balanced".
In the early '70's in Germany, we read The Army Times from cover to cover. I felt that it was OUR voice.
duh on me.
"These are not "professional military publications."
"They are now part of the Gannett Group (USAToday) and the writers for these four "military papers" also work at USAToday!"
I agree - it probably pained Greg to say that as he's very liberal.
KEERIST! The 2nd best DS we have ever had and next they will be going after the best DS we have ever had! Dick Cheney!
FOX has been running snips of it ALL day! (in between 50 minutes and hour of advertisements)
I thought he was a good embed reported. It wasn't until much later that I realized that he is a NY lib, like his father.
FOX NEWS just emphasized this point.
The must be keeping tab's on FR! ; )
Yeah, me too. I liked the job he did as an embed - it wasn't until he returned to FOX that I found out his leanings. Sad.
