Fourth Estate, Fifth Column

What the reality on the ground is in Iraq is one thing, but as far as the MSM in the United States is concerned, the war is lost. In a moment worthy of Walter Cronkite shafting his own country by calling the American victory in the Tet Offensive in 1968 proof of Communist invincibility, NBC, based on swallowing enemy propaganda whole, decides that the Iraq Campaign is now "civil war" and CBS declares that the only option for the Coalition is to "manage defeat."

That grinding sound you hear is Ernie Pyle spinning in his grave.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
