that’s why Tecumseh Sherman wanted ALL journalists DEAD because they kept reporting their movements to the South...yes, he said he wanted them dead.
One of my favorite quotes:
“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as little more than spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting press dispatches from Hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh Sherman
I share your disdain for the Soro/socialist press corps.
But, the South did not behead perceived opponents, burn them alive in cages, and rape women.
Also, I’ll bet a significant number of the military personnel who carried out the raid in Syria were brave Southerners.
So, respectfully, you might not want to compare apples to oranges.
However, as he admitted, even if he got his wish, he would be reading leaks and dispatches from hell before his first cup of coffee the next morning.
