Did Zell really write this? I know he has a knack for hyperbole, but...

By the way, I saw him in "FahrenHYPE 911" (got it at Wal-mart)...it's a great effort that costs half the price of "FahrenLIE 911".

The John Kerry version of a famous Churchill quote.

"We shall never defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall surrender on the beaches, we shall surrender on the landing grounds, we shall surrender in the fields and in the streets, we shall surrender in the hills;we shall never win."

I would love to see something like "If Modern Media Had Covered Gettysburg."

Oh, wait, they did.

The only difference is that the military had the power and the capacity to arrest and prosecute them.

From the Official Records:

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 11, 1863.
Brig. Gen. Q. A. GILLMORE,
Morris Island, S.C.:

GENERAL: Your letter of the 7th instant, complaining of newspaper publications of your operations, by which information, very injurious to you and valuable to the rebels, is indirectly conveyed to the enemy, is just received. Colonel Jackson will be immediately arrested and punished.

To prevent a recurrence of the evil complained of, the Secretary of War directs that you arrest all newspaper correspondents in your command and keep them in confinement at Hilton Head until your operations against Charleston are concluded. He also directs that you take possession of the mails, and open all letters suspected of conveying military information intended for publication.

He also authorizes you to impose upon the writers of such letters such punishments as the nature of the case may require.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
H. W. HALLECK,

It's funny because there's an element of truth in it, that's pretty much how it would be covered if it happened today.
