Something fundamental has happened to the British and U.S. media during this war. Those who have spent time on the front lines with the coalition troops, whether embedded with individual units or traveling independently through liberated Iraq, have learned to love the military.

You have to give the Bush team some real credit here. I think they firmly believe that they can push back on the liberal left wing bias in the U.S. (and world) press simply by letting in some light on the actions of our great fighting men and women of the military. A great strategy and it is clearly working. This must be driving the Dems crazy.

"driving the dems crazy"

You bet it is - and they are really worried what this "new breed" of journalists will do to them when the media returns from the war. I'm hoping it will have opened their eyes to see the total bias of the organizations they work for - and how they can now begin to change that bias. This is not good news for the dems; especially as they head into an election year.

Rush talked about it alot, and he said that at first he was not for it, but after a few days of TV reports, he began to notice a difference in the tone of the reports. Many of the reporters were now saying "we" or "us". Rush said he was shocked to realize the media had bonded with the soldiers. Many reports said the hardened media was being disolved to tears at the care the military gave to each other, as well as civilians, and the common theme - freeing the Iraqi people.

Rush predicted that when these guys get home, they will see America in a whole new light - as well as seeing the world in a whole new light.
