From Power Line<\/a>:<\/p>\n

If the Bush administration gets attacked, the press will report it. But what if someone attacks the press? If the attack goes unreported, did it ever really happen?<\/p>\n

Today General Ricardo Sanchez gave a speech to the Military Reporters and Editors’ annual conference, in which he criticized just about everyone associated with our effort in Iraq. The Washington Post’s headline was typical: “Former Iraq Commander Faults Bush.”<\/p>\n

Actually, I don’t believe Sanchez ever mentioned Bush by name, although, as I say, he was critical of just about everybody. But it would be hard to tell from press accounts of Sanchez’s speech that he was mostly critical of…the press.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Go over there to read the section exerpted. Then consider how the trough-fed pigs of the press are reporting this.<\/p>\n

Comment by happyfeet:<\/p>\n

On the Washington Post account of Sanchez\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s remarks, it says that \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cStaff writers Thomas E. Ricks in Washington & Peter Baker in Miami contributed to this report.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d Thomas Ricks is deeply invested in Iraq being a Fiasco<\/em>, which is the title of his book on the subject. He needs dead U.S. soldiers to hold his head up high, and the more stupid and senseless their deaths, the more better for Thomas.<\/p>\n

Ricardo Sanchez just helped nudge Ricks\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 book into another printing, and if Ricardo thinks he\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s got some sort of insight into the role the media is playing in this conflict, he\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s got some splainin to do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Still waiting for some organization in the MSM to inquire at to just what, exactly, Sandy Berger stuffed into his pants and socks, and why?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
