#1 Good stuff. Think the NY Times would report good stuff like this? Yeah, me neither.

#2 Jarhead

so we have someone else who realizes how different the WaPo is from the NYT.

Heres to the WaPo - the liberal hawk newspaper!

#3 I hope they're sharing the goodies with our buddies in the south. If they also have to "find" it to bypass their bureaucratic channels, I'm sure we can arrange something... We all know how good it feels to be a Santa's helper... Hmmm, do ya think the NGO types possess that neural capacity?

#4 LH,

I'll give anyone a fair read bro. Heck, I listen to NPR each day for a bit. I know most of my conservative brethren think that's crazy but I like to keep an open mind. They can report, I'll decide.

#5 Jarhead I listen to them also as well as watch Mcwhatever/Lurid on pbs. Open mind is a small part, the real reason is to know your enemy.

#6 Wapo is in a different class then NPR. NPR foreign coverage is run by first class terrorist sympathizer Loren Jenkins. There are still some decent folks at NPR, but they tend to be the exception.

The Washington Post has consistently followed a generally hawkish line on Iraq and the general WOT, and a moderate line on the Israel-Pal situation. They have managed to combine this with a generally skeptical approach to the admin, and a generally liberal/new democrat approach on domestic policy. AFAIK they are the only daily news source that has followed this line.

#8 LH & Anonymous, - points taken.

"Open mind is a small part, the real reason is to know your enemy."

A, I don't consider too many fellow Americans out right enemies just because I think their political views are asinine. Look at Murat, Aris, & NMM for example - I don't agree w/a lot they say but I respect that they say it. Heck, none of them are even Americans (jury is still out on NMM). Its when morons go to the extremes of a Hanoi Jane (ANSWER meets my criteria as well) that b.s. needs to stop & we should get pissed. I have close friends & family from all spectrums.

LH - I'm not too up on Jenkins so I can't comment. I would like to see more objective coverage going around though. If the lib press points out a valid mistake we've made in our planning or execution - then that's fine w/me, let's fix the problem and move on. I don't think their wrong all the time, just most of the time :)

The real problem w/folks like NYT & LAT lies in blowing situations out of proportion, not reporting the whole story, and misrepresenting the news (there's far right wing circulations that do the same). For example, the more the LAT pounded Arnold in CA the more popular he got.

#9 FYI Jarhead--I am an American, originally from a small city in the midwest.
If the NYT is so "liberal" why do they have Op-Ed/Editorials by people like Thomas Friedman, Andrew Sullivan, John M Poindexter, and WILLIAM SAFIRE!?! (all in the last 60 days www.nytimes.com) Show me the last time the Washington Times or Wall St Journal featured any opposing views. Oh, I forgot, Rev Moon and Dow Jones don't like dissent.

#10 Jarhead - Also note that the LA Times is now owned by the Chicago Tribune, which is itself becoming increasingly leftist. Poor Col. McCormick is spinning in his grave (should hit China soon).

#11 The Wall St. Journal regularly has liberals. Fat fatty Al Hunt is there each week. He wrote more of the tired Iraq=Vietnam=Quagmire crap today.

#13 NMM - I was being facetious, you know - joking...you're still my favorite lib in here...chill out bro. I know your from around Madison, WI or Yellow Springs, OH - some shit like that. I'll check out your NYT rant and give you 'mad props' if you're right. Until then, take it easy on the starbucks wild man, remember: decaf = good. Caramel mochiatto = bad.
