In Mosul, a Soldier asks Donald Rumsfeld "Sir, how do we win the war in the media? It seems like that is the place where we're getting beat up more than anybody else."
The NY Times covers Rumsfeld in Iraq without addressing the exchange between the SecDef and the Soldier in a story headlined US Can Beat Insurgents, Rumsfeld Tells Troops
Not to be outdone, the Washington Post ignores the exchange in their coverage headlined In Iraq, Rumsfeld Urges Persistence
No slackers on the West Coast! The LA Times ignores that part of the story in a piece titled Rumsfeld Drops In on Troops in Iraq
But the Philadelphia Inquirer tops them all with their story! Rumsfeld tells troops: More attacks likely - yeah! - that was the message!
Other than the glaring omission they are fairly balanced efforts though. Perhaps a sense of guilt on the part of reporters post-Mosul, something similar to that felt in humans?
