the los angeles times lost 5% of its sales.

and this is good.

maybe they'll wake up to the news--americans are tired of their leftist crap!

Serves them right: Those bastards are at war with Free Republic.

Ah, I see another media person is discovering that things changed on September 11. Mr. Westin will be lucky if he retains his job.

Every single time this anti-American, anti-Bush stuff starts, they need to be deluged with calls, faxes, letters and e-mail.

This is our duty as Americans. These people need to fade into obscurity, and we can help them on their way.

"? U.S. News & World Report's Michael Barone points out that "the fact that there are civilian casualties and collateral damage are not very newsworthy," because "civilian casualties and collateral damage are inevitable in any war."

Our guy knocks another one out of the park! :-)

Those bastards are at war with Free Republic.

AND they're losing :-)

CNN must be getting concerned about their ratings and the adverse mail they are receiving about their reporting on the war. The media better wake up and realize we live in a different nation since Sept 11th and the citizens are not taking kindly to this Anti American reporting they are engaging in.
Right now we are One Nation, and we don't need the media trying to divide us again, which they obviously are attempting to do.

AND they're losing :-)

BIG TIME! (to use alittle Cheney lingo, there ;^)

Amen.

you gotta be a lefty to work at Disney now too!

i think americans are becoming less concerned about "collateral damage". indeed, it just may be a positive.

were the royalty in saudi arabia concerned about nyc collateral damage?

No declared war, and he 'feels' he cannot take a position as to "right or wrong".

Another villain from an Ayn Rand novel....and you thought it was fiction!!!

The media today, sad to say, is a nest of traitors.

You need only watch the typical evening "news" broadcast -- larded, from beginning to end, with the most vile, unadulterated enemy propaganda.

This isn't news, it is political pornography, political prostitution as "correspondents" jokey to please their host Arab governments or out of fear of having their press credentials pulled

ABCNEWS doggedly refuses to air so much as the faintest blurb about the cold-blooded mass-murder of Christians in Pakistan, while hyperventilating endlessly about accidentally bombed Afghan Red Cross warehouses, Afghan refugees and 'civilian' casualties.

This is the network which regurgitates, wholesale, Taliban pablum, withut the vaguest hint of skepticism, even as it labors to cast doubt on our leaders, our war strategy -- even the very rightness of our cause.

But the problem isn't just ABCNEWS: The entire news business -- FOXNEWS being the noteworthy exception -- is infected with the same strain of virulent anti-Americanism.

And so is most of print "journalism", needless to say.

The dirty little secret is that most "reporters" share the same disdain, the same ardent anti-western, anti-Judeo-Christian poisoned mindset so prevalent in the mideast they cover.

Can there be any doubt -- any doubt whatsoever -- that these treacherous leeches in a heartbeat would willingly trade the lives and safety of our soldiers just to be *the first* with the news?

During the roundtable segment yesterday on Special Report With Brit Hume, panelist Fred Barnes related an incredible episode which occurred during Q & A at yesterday's Pentagon briefing.

Are you ready for this? One of the "reporters" wanted to know why "leaflets" weren't being dropped prior to bombing raids to "warn" Afghan "civilians".

The question is emblematic of a sickness which pervades the typical newsroom today, and it isn't stupidity, either.

I don't for a minute believe these "reporters' are merely dupes -- well intentioned, but misguided.

No, they are traitors, from top to bottom.

You don't have to be a West Point graduate to know that dropping leaflets and giving your enemy a 'heads-up' is a bad idea.

Why does Disney hate me my my kids so much?

Is it becasue We are Americans?

First it was Bill Maher and now this ABC news Director and both owned by Disney.

Boycott Disney and its products until the war is over.

Freeze their assets.

# 13, right on, (again)!

I often think to myself, just what do the media left-wing traitors think will happen to their jobs after the US has been defeated and turned into some totalitarian regime?

The globalist media have renounced their U.S. citizenship and allegiance.

I often think to myself, just what do the media left-wing traitors think will happen to their jobs after the US has been defeated and turned into some totalitarian regime?

Exactly, my friend.

Here's the question that nobody asks:

We already heard the hypothetical about Mike Wallace and Peter Jennings not willing to inform American troops of an imminent ambush if they were traveling with an enemy patrol because they are journalists first.

We also heard the hypothetical about NPR correspondents willing to report the location of secret commando troops to unaware enemies because of an obligation to history to report what is going on.

So, I ask, hypothetically:

If a US troop becomes aware of an American journalist who is about to report the location of secret commando forces and possibly compromise the mission, would he be right to treat the journalist as a hostile and kill the journalist to prevent the aid and comfort of the enemy and guarantee the success of his mission?

In other words, if the journalist is a journalist first and an American second, then is the soldier a soldier first and an American second, too?

that is a beautiful piece of logic there... i think you are right..
