War Journalists Get ‘Core Values Training’
ScrappleFace ^ | June 1, 2006 | Scott Ott

The American Society of Professional Journalists today said it would offer major news organizations like CNN and the New York Times a “core values” training course in the wake of an incident in Haditha, Iraq.

The journalist training comes as the Pentagon offers its own brand of values reinforcement for U.S. troops.

“We’re just going to cover the basics,” said an unnamed trainer, “We’ll reinforce the bedrock values that 99.9 percent of journalists already live by, but may not always remember under the stress, fear and isolation of war.”

The following is a partial list of topics from the “core wartime values” course for journalists:

–Hold the presses! Innocent until accused. –How to use the word “alleged” and still get your point across. –Finding a quotable Congressman to say what you mean. –Top-notch news analysis in a word: Vietnam.


TOPICS: Foreign Affairs; News/Current Events; Political Humor/Cartoons; War on Terror
KEYWORDS: ethics; journalism; journalist; scrappleface; training; warcorrespondents
The DBM or Drive By Media sure could use some core value training

*****************************

THE DEMOCRAT MEDIA CAN NOT ALLOW ANY PEACE OR STABILITY IN IRAQ THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A TROOP DRAW DOWN BEFORE THE 2006 OR 2008 ELECTIONS!

*****************************

After all, the Democrat media have gone out of their way to create a Civil War in Iraq http://www.nodnc.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=361 even though Iraq is safer than many major U.S. Cities run by Democrats - http://www.nodnc.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=419. Using the Democrat media logic, we have totally lost the war in New Orleans, DC, and Detroit. We should be pulling all of the police, firemen, and National Guard out immediately.

The Democrat media MUST keep Iraq unstable, they MUST keep tensions high to get more U.S. soldiers killed, they MUST continue lying to the public to advance an agenda that most rational people would think is insane, they MUST continue to misuse their positions to push their Democratic Party agenda forward. Destroying America in the process is not only acceptable, it is necessary to manipulate and deceive Americans because the United States stands in the way of implementing their documented goal of global socialism through the United Nations. http://www.nodnc.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=191

Any draw down of U.S. Troops, before the elections in 2006 or 2008 undermines the TENS, IF NOT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FREE POLITICAL ATTACK AIR TIME FOR THE DEMOCRATS! The THOUSANDS of hours of media air time from the various National media channels easily adds up to this. And it could all be completely wasted by Iraq stabilizing enough to begin troop withdrawals.

The Democrat Media can not allow this. So helping to incite a Civil War in Iraq, or getting more of our troops killed are perfectly acceptable ways for them to ensure that their investment in Democratic political attack air time is not wasted again.

That photo of Dan Rather with his arms around Castro says it all about todays journalists. Fifth columnists is more like it. I never thought I'd see the day when I thought that to be the case, but I think that now. Pinch Sulzsberger's statement to his father that he'd rather see a dead American soldier than a dead NVA was outright traitorous.
