This is an interesting article, points out a lot of truths I have seen about the war coverage.

Overall, the Washington press corps is a disgrace.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Their coverage of Kosovo was gun-ho to the max. Public bridges blown up during prime time traffic. A radio station blown up. All manner of high-civilian areas hit. Based on a myth of 'ethnic cleansing'. And the result was the massacre of thousands of Christians, the burning of probably every Christian church in that area, and the Serbs' evacuation of their holy land. But the media was 'behind him'. To this day, many Americans don't have a clue about Kosovo.

Contrary to what Rush says, it's a question of which party benefits from the triumph or benefits from the failure.

I don't understand why the teleprompt readers are allowed to use our airwaves to broadcast anti-American sentiment during war time.

The media is so poll conscious, wonder why they don't conduct a poll asking:
Do you think the media are basically idiots?

Oh, ok...they already know the answer....and it ain't flattering.

"Admiral, what's the rationale for not saying where the B-52s hit Tuesday?" one journalist asked. "We're getting reports from eyewitnesses they hit; the bad guys know where you hit. What's the big secret?"

Sounds like the press already knows everything about Tuesdays bombing runs. Why are they asking?

OH! By bad guys he probably meant the Taliban, not the press. My mistake!

[Alas]

ABC's petey jennings refused to even acknowledge that there was a world series going on, he never once mentioned it or the standing ovation the President got.

jennings and the rest of the main stream medias 'legends in their own minds' are not only sick, they have become disgusting lackies for bin laden and every other enemy of these United States, jennings should be deported! Or better yet tried for and then shot for intentional acts treason.

The press is free to ask these questions, and our military is free to say no comment.

The questions, however, in this case, reveal much more about the mindset of the reporters than they do about the war.

Goran takes issue with most of the questions posed by the press corps, calling them "insensitive, unpatriotic and devoid of any intelligence."

Insesitive, unpatriotic, and devoid of any intellingence, MY sentiments exactly ! In fact I find I can no longer watch the briefings from getting so upset with the press. Rumsfeld and Ari Fleisher have the patience of a Saint.

I think Rumsfeld is the one doing the pummeling.

We have to assume these guys have the ratings - it's easier to pressure their advertisers than to wait indefinitely for the ratings to go down. Paraphrasing Ann Coulter, soccer moms and linear thinking do not go hand in hand.

Maybe Fox is beginning to wake up. I just wrote two emails about them putting on Dr. Paul Walker who proceeded to tell exactly where our biochemical weapons and waste products were stored, how secure, weaknesses in the security and all. All terrorists were taking notes I'm sure.

The media needs to realize that they have a massive tool - the press - and to use it as they are is endangering their own families and all American citizens.

The media plus our homegrown enemies and the cell plants in the US may be all terrorists need to defeat the superpower of the world. They won't even need the extravagant flying machines, the super weapons and the numbers of soldiers - you see they have our press as spies for them.
