Quote of the Day: Well of Course They Are
Why there is all this attention now to a nine month-old item I don’t quite understand, but the point remains all too valid.
Iraqi Soldier Tim Ryan in The World Tribune, Jan. 18, 2005, on major-media coverage of the Iraq War (HT Gun Guy via Anchoress, who appears to be in need of our prayers):
The inaccurate picture they paint has distorted the world view of the daily realities in Iraq. The result is a further erosion of international support for the United States’ efforts there, and a strengthening of the insurgents’ resolve and recruiting efforts while weakening our own. Through their incomplete, uninformed and unbalanced reporting, many members of the media covering the war in Iraq are aiding and abetting the enemy.
For what’s really happening:
- Mudville Gazette
- Michael Yon
- Centcom
- Chrenkoff (stopped blogging in September after getting a different job, but he has a historical treasure trove of good news from Iraq and Afghanistan over the past 18 months)
