I mock Katie a lot but I think she's doing one thing that all too few senior journalists condescend to do, and that is actually meeting the troops in the field. I've said it before, but you cannot do that and come away with the same illusions that seem common currency among a class of journalists who never served and don't know anyone personally who ever did - that they're brainwashed, that they don't have the same lordly level of information available to journalists, that they're ignorant, poor, alienated, oppressed.

Unfortunately those few who do aometimes tend to forget this once they're back in the giant echo chamber that is the bi-Coastal media.

If the damn MSM would show all the good things happening in Iraq and how much more enjoyable live is maybe the crazies in the other muslim nations would want to see their lot in life improved and become angry at their leaders and want more western style freedom

When is the CBS News going to be forced to be honest and drop the C from their name?

[khnyny]

cBS and Couric must be desperate for ratings - they’re actually interviewing real live soldiers, lol.

Too bad for cBS and co. that they didn’t do this years ago, imho, it’s too late to save their buts now.

A comment on CBS.

I tuned in yesterday to the station in Upper Michigan that carries Rush Limbaugh. The news, of course spaces out the program. This I heard from CBS news. On President Bush's visit to Australia.

Raucous Michael Ware like voices chanting "Troops out now, troops out now". Next, a quick cut to an equally distorted Michael Ware like voice, alone. "Shouldn't 'ave a War Criminal visitin'". Now to an American- a Senator Biden. Quoth Biden to the extent of mentioning cutting down 130,000 troop deployments by GWB. He then said, we are caught in the middle of a civil war. The voice in desperation mode.

They hanged William Joyce at the end of WW2 for not a heck of a lot less.
