Surge Fails: MSM Says...
I'm listening to the ABC Radio News, at the top of the hour, and in EVERY broadcast they have declared the Surge a failure. "Doesn't seem to be working," was the phrase of choice in the 7 o'clock hour. Wow, what a well sourced and researched statement! What the hell is wrong with these people? It's a military operation meant to last months, that has been underway for several days now, and its being declared an unmitigated failure by the MSM with absolutely NO sourcing at all. Because terrorists were able to detonate a bomb. As if that was expected to suddenly stop. Contrast that with Pajama Media's local Iraqi Blogger (from Iraqi the Model) report, which provides both the bad news, "bombings" and the good news, "people returning to homes, more visible military presence in the streets". Of course the MSM says that folks like ITM are "Biased." Because they want American and Iraqi forces to win? Oh my god, what an atrocious bias. Everyone has bias, it cannot be eliminated. What is important is objectivity, reporting what actually has happened. ITM is more objective then the media reports. We know what he WANTs to happen, but he reports both positive and negative developments in moving towards that goal. by comparison, we KNOW what the MSM wants to happen too, only they only report those things which reinforce their preconcieved desires.
