In war on terror, reporters wind up in the cross hairs
2006-07-02
Izzat so? Has a car bomb killed 66 reporters recently?

#5  Good questions, Fred. I find it disgusting when the media reports (read: whines) about itself.

Notable exceptions (i.e., Richard Pearl, the WaPo journalist who was killed during the invasion, and the television person who was killed during reporting)

#4  Actually, reporters aren't against the United States, they're against a Republican president, a Republican House, and an Republican Senate - the choices of the people. They will do anything to bring down the Republican party and the people that represent it. Partaisan politics are more important than national security, even national survival, to this bunch of twits. They deserve to be hung 50 feet below an AC-130 making touch-and-go landings at Kandahar, Afghanistan (it's called trolling for talibanners).

#3  Notice in all this whining, the largest number of reporters in the crosshairs and in the graves are Iraqi. Iraqis who understand what a free government means, what a true free press means [they ain't doing it for money or a Pulitzer], and have been willing in the numbers to pay the price. The elites will include their numbers in the count, but they'll never acknowledge what they really died for.

Not enough of them.

#1  "When it is a Top Secret operation, it is NOT the job of the press to determine what is appropriate to release and what is not," wrote Webb in an e-mail to the St. Petersburg Times Tuesday. "The problem ... is that media does not see the terrorist threat." Amen! The problem is that the MSM are elitest and arrogant. They do not care a whit about the greater good of the country despite mouthing such. They put story first, even if it is very often fabricated and allegiance to the country somewhere way down the list of important things. They are more interested in proving the U.S. wrong at every turn. They have their own agenda. The Rosenburgs were executed for giving away atomic secrets during the Cold War. We need to start prosecuting leakers and people in the MSM who aid and abet the enemy by divulging secrets during war time. I am, however, skeptical that this will happen.
