Media's Dark Cloud a Danger (Falsely bleak reports reduce our chances of success in Iraq)

Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 9/22/03 | Jim Marshall

[NYC Republican]

The first paragraph says it all...

[Cicero]

Although most reporters wouldn't openly put it that way, many left wing reporters are obviously hoping to see more body bags come home, because it will help them to undermine Bush and get the Democrats back into power. You can read their attitudes in the excited glee with which they report any and all setbacks.

I can't get over the shock that the AJC actually printed this.

They must also cheer every bit of negative news on the economy, even though, by nearly every measure, it's turning around for the better.

Even more shocked that it came from a Dem....

"president's premature declaration of victory."

I don't recall this. I do recall Bush declaring the end to major military action.

"The Iraq war has predictably evolved into a guerrilla conflict similar to Vietnam."

While Mr. Marshall may be a Vietnam combat veteran, I believe he's still playing the RAT game of putting words in the President's mouth and making a mountain out of a molehill.

Likewise bump, and a few GA pings.

Porcine aviation, snowballs in Hades, etc.

Rural southern Democrat, from the home state of Zell Miller. There are a few left with some integrity.

My initial reaction as well. What's in it for them?

Thanks for the ping FP.

In spite of the mainstream media, the dark cloud is small, part of the problem is that most of the people, the mindless masses, pay attention to them. We need to speak out to them and show them where the real and truthful news is.

It's too bad that we can not hold these media people accountable for what they say and the direction that they try force the people to take...

bump

Someone get this posted at DUmmyland and lets see them bash this Democrat.

[Redleg Duke]

Note, this is from a Democrat!

[NYC Republican]

FYI- interesting article, from a Dem congressman no less!

[PGalt]

Even more shocked that it came from a Dem....

I agree

[over3Owithabrain]

Excellent article by Rep. Marshall. Perhaps the AJC was attempting some balance after printing that hateful screed by Cleland the other day. This guy actually went there - Max just sounded bitter and divisive.

[finnman69]

I e-mailed this article to Glenn Renyolds at instapundit.com . He's going to use it to followup his MSNBC post today.

[NYC Republican]

Fantastic! It would be great if this article got more exposure- it may have more weight in the liberal media, coming from a Dem.

[finnman69]

He had it posted at www.instapundit.com right after I wrote you back. He was very excited about it.
