Defeatist Media
By Hugh Hewitt
Writing for Townhall:
"As General Petraeus begins to implement the new strategy in Baghdad, Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair has announced the first permanent reduction of British troops from southern Iraq. Both are signs of progress towards Iraqi stability, and yet both are widely reported by an agenda media as indications of defeat.
As columnist Mark Steyn observed this past weekend, no matter what the news from Iraq, the elite media in America will find a way to spin it as bad news. This is suicide by media bias. Without any standard and increasingly without regards to facts, the American media have become invested in seeing the American military defeated in Iraq, and even in declaring defeat in the face of victory.
The thorough-going ideological corruption of the Beltway-Manhattan media elite is as obvious as it is dangerous. The only alternative is the continued rapid growth in new media and the collapse of old media's revenues as readers reject their obviously tainted product."
It is amazing isn't it that the media and the left (of which there is no discernible difference) belly-ached, squawked & squealed, that 20,000 extra troops being added (the 'surge') was of no consequence ... too little, too late.... it wasn't enough to make a difference, but yet a drawn down of 1,600 British troops is so catastrophic?
