| ...The left is translating and selectively quoting LTG (Ret) Ricardo Sanchez' comments during the October 12 Military Reporters and Editors Luncheon in Washington D.C. "Former top general rips BushÂ’s Iraq policy" is not exactly what happened here, yet if you were to accept their editorializing, that's what many are going to come away with.... |

| #6 Besides, if he left out the Bush-bashing, no one would've reported it at all. The speech never woudl've happened. At least this way, he can fuss about the MSM misquoting him. |

| #4 After all this time dealing with the media he doesn't understand that they will selectively quote him out of context if they can? I don't think so. He said what he meant and meant what he said. I hope he gets his job in the Clinton administration. |

| #2 I'm not so sure he did; in the remarks quoted at the link, Sanchez attributes the media's misreporting of military matters to sensationalism and a desire to get on the front page. He doesn't seem to quite get it, that the MSM are intentionally misreporting to promote a political agenda. In any case, Gen. Sanchez's remarks make it clear that Bob Parks hits the mark when he says, "The Think Progress and New York Times types have intentionally left out the guts of this speech that lambastes the media and the ideology that drives them. Instead they've only reported the part of the speech (yet to come) that fits their anti-war, anti-Bush agenda." Lambastes, flenses and eviscerates. |

| #1 I don't buy it. Sanchez knew exactly which parts of his 95 Theses would be reported, and in what manner. |
