Or the Newsweak guy who appreared on CNN's Reliable Sources in 2006 who said

"Well the media is reluctant, you know, to print positive stories about Iraq cause that would be seen as helping Bush".

I cannot locate the clip on youtube right now but there is a clip that has been posted in the past with Peter Jennings and I believe Dan Brokaw (and others) having a discussion about “loyalty” and journalism.

The topic comes up with a journalist having foreknowledge of a planned attack on our troops and whether they should disclose it to the troops. Jennings at first says that it would be a difficult decision to make but that he would alert the American troops. Brokaw or whoever it is in the discussion with him shames him into changing his answer to say that no he would not act on that knowledge to alert the troops. He would maintain a “neutral” reporting position.

Now consider just how much classified information has been leaked by our media to the enemy in this war.

They are not neutral. They have a vested interest in seeing us lose. Just as they did in Vietnam. Commie sympathizers. They don’t disagree with reason for the war. They support the enemy.
