#2 Once again the MSM aids and abets the enemy. They are either unwitting tools or misguided fools.

#3 Premeditation doesn't exclude foolishness. MSM argues they're better than blogs cause they 'fact check'. So, by their own standards, it isn't a mistake.

#5 Why don't they call unknown sources, Anti-Iraqi forces, Extremists and the AFP by their proper name, the ENEMY.

#6 #2: "Once again the MSM aids and abets the enemy. They are either unwitting tools or misguided fools."

No, John, they're witting tools and collaborators. Not so many years ago, they would have been called by their proper names: TRAITORS.

Too bad the gummint won't do to traitors today what they very properly did in WW II. >:-(

#7 The US military accused the international media on Saturday of exacerbating Iraq's violent tensions by reporting false claims of massacres which it said were deliberately fabricated by extremist groups.

I suggest that we label this "The Rather Effect".

No, John, they're witting tools and collaborators. Not so many years ago, they would have been called by their proper names: TRAITORS.

Always right on the money, Barbara.
