It's time to put the blame where it belongs. The media AND the Democrats are costing lives with their rhetoric.

The AP didn't publish this.  Your link is misleading.

I mistakenly attributed this to the AP, it is from Townhall.com,

Would you please change, if possible, or delete thread?

Sorry.

You must hit the abuse button. Explain the problem on that page. That works faster than pinging the Admin.

The AP is anti-American along with the other news media and supports the terrorist. They have an agenda and that is to have the United States suffer a defeat in Iraq so that the terrorist can take over. They care nothing for America or our way of life and it is their mission to make Islam seem to be a religion of peace and to degrade and kill as many American military and civilians as possible.

They and the other news media are TRAITORS. While we have freedom of the press we do not have anything in the Constitution that says the press can commit treason which is what they are doing.

To digger48: no apology needed as far as I'm concerned. The article makes a good and accurate point.

This is a good piece but it is on Townhall.

The attribution should be changed

ok,, NOW we're back on track!

We need to loudly explain to the American people that the opposition to this war is purely political and is killing and maiming our soldiers, and emboldening the enemy.

John Kerry, for the second time in his life of insignificant accomplishments, has the blood of soldiers and innocents, on his hands.

Regardless of source, this article is right-on.

“The AP is not biased. It covers stories episodically, attempting to put them in context.”

But, they choose WHICH stories to report -- omitting those which do not fit their agenda, trumpet those which do.

The "objective" MSM is analogous to your mailman deciding which letters to deliver and which you must not read.

Yes, the Media is causing deaths with all their 'hate the military' and the 'USA' rhetoric.

This thing COULD be winding down, if we didn't have to focus so much effort on fighting the enemies in the press AND the insurgent Democrats in Congress.

This is an excellant piece containing researched facts linking the AP antiwar bias to public opinion.

Although Rasmussen polls are themselves biased, the bias is antiwar. Change in the antiwar bias among an already biased sample is indicative of the AP force.
