Must-Read of the Week

This should be stapled to the collective forehead of the Bush campaign staff.

....The American media is now acting as a fifth column, just as it did in Vietnam. The press is adamantly opposed to President Bush and the Iraq policy. Ergo, it "reports" the story to make the thing look far worse than it is. Hence the administration is losing the information war. The most glaring example is the fact that an American was brutally and mercilessly slain in cold blood with and international audience and the American press gave it short shrift. Today it's back to Abu Ghraib and the ever irresponsible Charlie Rangold(sic) suggesting that Berg was killed because there are not enough jobs in America and of course that very unfortunate emotional diatribe from Nick Berg's grieving father.
