Traitors in the Mist
(Hat tip: Mike Wolff)
One of the most despicable things I`ve encountered during the War is this; the treasonous New York Times published a video of the murder or an American soldier in Iraq in violation of their signed agreement not to do such a thing. (This is guaranteed to make Birdblog readers livid!)
The Times has gone entirely too far! We have had to endure their constant sniping at our war effort, their repeated publishing of classified information about our war plans, their refusal to publish any information about our successes. The media in general has refused to show America just what these vile people are doing over there (while being very eager to show our troops ``crimes`` such as Abu Ghraib), yet now, when they think America is fatigued and ready to pull out, they are eagerly publish videos of our soldiers being killed.
Are we, or are we not, at war? When is the Justice Department going to act against this type of treasonous behavior on the part of our own ``fair and balanced`` media? Abraham Lincoln would have had the Times closed and her editors imprisoned! I can think of no war in American history in which the press can openly, defiantly perform acts of treason and not be challenged by the Executive Branch-or the Judicial, or the Legislative. It`s time for legal action against this sedition!
They are going to lose their embedded status-oh, boo hoo! They should have lost their embedded status two years ago-or never had it to begin with! This is a case of closing the barn door after the horse has gotten out! Some of them at the Times need to lose their freedom for a while, if you ask me!
President Bush, ever the gentleman, believed that placing reporters in the ranks of the soldiers would guarantee fair and accurate reporting-no false claims of American atrocities, and our successes would be reported. WRONG!! The Mainstream Media cares nothing for fair and accurate reporting; they want to make the news, not chronicle it! We have seen treason in the press corps, and it`s about time somebody puts their foot down!
We have no chance of winning the overall War on Terror if we continue in this manner; we cannot take the most basic steps, actions which have been part of accepted military protocol for centuries without the Media accusing us of awful things and making every effort to see that our plans fail. As long as they continue to undermine our efforts we have no hope of winning. It should be pointed out that throughout our history the press has been cooperative with the government to ensure American victory, or they would have been censored and possibly closed. This is not a new thing, and I can think of no nation on Earth which allows their own press to actively oppose the national military during wartime. We cannot continue with treason in our midst.
When last I commented on the need for conservatives to buy up media, I ran into a lot of disagreement from people who do not think it necessary. Do those of you who believed that still think that is the case?

See how livid I am I posted my comment on the wrong article but upon a little more research to calm myself down I came across this:

Seems NY times is in a little financial trouble and makes their SOB sensationalism a whole lot more despicable.
Great point, Learner; that IS why the Times is pulling this type of thing. I dearly hope they go into receivership and Karl Icahn buys their dead carcass.
Surely dying in the Iraq War is a good thing - after all it is for a good cause isn't it?
Why would it be embarassing or treasonous to show people the reality of war? Who would be disadvantaged by showing the truth?
