The media wishes to demoralize Americans in order to stop them from fighting. You can demoralize someone through psychological operations that raise their hopes and then crushes them. On the other hand, you can demoralize people can be constantly preventing them from ever getting their hopes up.

Anyway, the Left has come to specialize in smacking people it disagrees with in the back of the head and then trying to look innocent and agrieved when the person they’ve smacked tries to hit them back. You do realize how heinous an accusation “No blood for oil” is, don’t you? “Bush lied, people died”? Etc., etc. But it’s the Right that’s indulged in name-calling? Spare me.

Also, I think it’s the Left that needs to come clean about the media, along with how they really view America. If you are upset by the notion that some people think journalists actively seek out American atrocities, then you haven’t been paying attention. The reporting on this war has, from the beginning, focused on anything negative about US actions and on the whole ignored enemy atrocities except insofar as they can be painted as US failures. Excuse us for actually paying attention to reality and noticing.

So then, why have so many reporters gone out of their way, paid money, and photoshopped for their “my lais”?
Today, I don’t trust the “Fourth Estate”. They have become a mere propaganda arm of the enemy. This isn’t Ernie Pyle’s or Lowell Thomas’ “reporting” anymore.
If Dan Rather and Scott Beauchamp are considered “journalists” to you, then I guess we’ll have to disagree about what passes for “truth” that should be “noticed”.
And what does the right need to “come clean about” that hasn’t been known for years, now?

I wasn’t going to respond to this particular blog, but I can’t help being upset by the notion that journalists are always “looking for the next My Lai.” My God, isn’t it clear that in war no one has to look very far for these events and that if journalists aren’t there to report them, they go unnoticed. I think the Right needs to really come clean about their attitudes on the Fourth Estate.

You can get it through the Cindy Sheehan special membership. There’s a sign up fee, which will get you 2 months of membership. In those two months, you must be able to acquire 2 more members others they will not renew your membership after two months regardless of how much you pay them.

In a year or two, your membership should qualify for a permanent moral authority card. Otherwise known as a green card, which will also allow you to save on carbon emissions and credits through a partnership deal with Al Gore’s Green investment portfolio. In 10 years, you may take a test and swear an oath to the leftist creed of absolute entropy and self-destruction in order to upgrade your green card to an absolute moral authority card. Either that or you would qualify if you sacrificed a son or daughter. Only direct family connections qualify. Cousins, mothers, fathers, nephews, etc don’t qualify you for an absolute moral authority card ahead of the 10 year waiting period.
