"It's a troublesome issue that we're all very concerned about," said Army Chief of Staff Gen. John Keane at the same hearing.

Uh, Ms UPI PENTAGON Reporter, General Keane is the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army--has been for years. General Pete Schoomaker took charge over a month ago from Shinseki.

What do you think would happen to a Dallas newspaper sports reporter who didn't know Bill Parcells was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys a month into the season? Yet these idiot reporters on the military don't know even the most basic facts.

this is a hotly debated political issue -- that media outlets should not be expected to parrot for the Bush administration.

And notice how she frames the issue up front in her story--that its either the negative/incomplete reporting we get now or else being a "parrot for the Bush administration". Just remember when you read the news, even-handed reporting or good news = "parrot for Bush administration".

But it is O.K. for them to be a parrot for the leftist dims.

Actually, she was on Washington Journal on C-SPAN two Fridays ago, and she's not as bad as many. She was telling Brian about the many positive things she saw there, and how great the soliers were. Obviously the hardcore leftists didn't like that since they got vicious (asking her if the words 'ugly' and 'whore' meant anything to her!).
