Default The Media Contributes To The Deaths Of Our Troops?

Do you agree with the below statement highlighted in Red?


Lt General Sanchez: "The basic ethics of a journalist, as laid out here, of seeking truth, fair and comprehensive accounting of events and issues, thoroughness and honesty, all are sometime victims of the massive agenda driven competition for economic or political supremacy. The death knell of your ethics has been enabled by some parent organizations who have chosen to align themselves with political agendas. What is clear to me is that you are perpetuating the corrosive partisan politics that is destroying our country and killing our service members who are at war, in some cases."

The liberal bias of press has played into the hands of the opposition.

For those that answer yes, tell me how?


Is it the media teaching them how to build bombs?

Is it the media that taught them to be suicidal Islamic fanatics?

Do they give insurgents logistical help? Weapons?

Did the media make up the WMD fallacy? Did the media launch a preemptive strike based on that fallacy?

Can the enemy win this war? NO! Through what outlet can the enemy convince us to leave? Can you say the Anti War crowd? Or how about the Leftist media? Name one Democrat that has said that he/she wants success and democracy for the people of Iraq! Terrorism works through the spread of fear! The media provides this. It is only through the spread of bad news and fear that the enemy can win this war! It is only through the spread of bad news and fear that democrats can maintain their popularity! Who reports nothing but bad news dispite the good things that are happining in Iraq? The liberal media! Does this encourage our enemys? Yes it does! Does it contribute to enemy recruitment? Yes it does! Does enemy news/propaganda outlets report and exagerate how the enemy is winning? Yes they do!

Conclustion: The Politisization of the shortcomings of this war for an political gain directly results in more of our servicemembers killed! The democrats and the liberal media does this all the time. If you dont believe this then name a democrat that advocates victory through an free and democratic Iraq!

There is no liberal media? Liberal Media Bias
List of journalists taking sides - Politics - MSNBC.com

Journalists give to Democrats 9-1
Hot Air » Blog Archive » Shocka! Journalists give to Democrats 9-1

Like that 1990s survey revealing that about 90 percent of the Washington press corps supported Clinton, a president who didn’t crack 50% in either 1992 or 1996, didn’t tell us this years ago. Still, it’s one of those things the confirms what we already know: Journalists tend to be a bunch of libs who are are out to “change the world” rather than just report on it:
The following 144 journalists made campaign contributions from 2004 through the first quarter of 2007, according to Federal Election Commission records studied by MSNBC.com.
Key: (D) contributed to Democrats or liberal causes, (R) to Republicans and conservative causes.
Click on “details” next to each name to see the amounts and what the journalists have to say.
Television:
(D) ABC News, Mary Fulginiti, “Primetime” correspondent.
(D) ABC affiliate in Boston, WCVB, Sangita Chandra, producer.
(D) ABC affiliate in Wichita, KAKE, Susan Peters, anchor.
(D) CBS News, Serena Altschul, correspondent for “CBS Sunday Morning.”
Etc. The list goes on for a while and you see mostly (D) in front of the names. Not surprising, even though it’s getting giant headline treatment elsewhere. In other shocking news, the sun shines.
We all know that j-schools attract post-Watergate types who want to get the next scoop that brings down the next president, as long as that president has (R) in front of his name. We all know that most journalists will carry water for the NOW gang while ignoring the Concerned Women of America, whose ideology is conservative and whose membership dwarfs the far left NOW. We all know that most journalists cover environmental issues like they’re a huge threat, while downplaying the very real and ongoing threat from Islamic radicalism. We all know this. It’s not much of a surprise to see it confirmed via political donations.
What might be a bit more surprising is that MSNBC’s David Shuster showed up for a forum at the far left Take Back America confab yesterday. Click here, go to Day 3 and look at the 11 am session, the one called “The Mainstream Media: Fair and Balanced.” You have far left blogger Duncan “Atrios” black, a Clinton guy, two Air America guys, a WaPo guy, a Newsweek guy, a freelancer who specializes in Latino issues, and David Shuster of MSNBC. They used Fox’s branding motto to title the session, but didn’t include anyone from Fox, just a guy from one of its (distant, as the ratings go) rivals, and who once worked for Fox. I doubt Shuster defended Fox, since he works for MSNBC now and shows up on Hardball all the time. I’m guessing that that forum as co So what was alleged news reporter David Shuster doing at a far left pep rally that seems designed to be nothing but a Fox bash? Hmmm?

This coming from the same party that blames the media for promoting war?

The more dead body’s that the insurgents can get shown in the American press the more it weakens our resolve at home. It plays right in to the hands of the enemy. I hate to say it but it’s a good strategy.
