"...although it went virtually unnoted by the news media at the time."

And this is the White House's fault? WTF?

I've manage to post the updated ISF battlespace map, which was handed out yesterday to the TWO reporters that actually showed up to the Baghdad briefing.

I think the media actions only show which side they are on. I don't think they are un-aware of what they are doing and I think they are very smart using their posts to fight against everything that is right and great telling us it is wrong and bad. They realize America can't be defeated on the battle field and the war is being fought in the hearts and minds of he American people.

Oh, c'mon, it isn't that there not paying attention, it's that they know that he doesn't really believe it when he says it. Because he's lying anyway.

This is just the repetition of the 16 words in the State of the Union speech.

Sure, he said what he said (what did he say, we weren't watching), but he really meant for us to believe something TOTALLY different.

The MSM hasn't listened to one word of this President since 2001, unless its to catch some malapropism or other verbal gaff. Besides, they don't need to. They know what he wants to do, along with his evil pals.

Could the MSM be any more pathetic?

I like that line: "Perhaps the Post could launch an "Investigative Journalism" department, and use it to notice what the President says?"

Maybe they could start teaching that in Journalism scohol, rather than how to be a spineless wimp who makes sure we don't offend our Muslim friends.

I do not believe one word that the media puts out. The AP alone with the former MSM has became a comedy of mistakes and outright lies. If you want the truth, watch the speach and then ten minutes later the lying wonks in the media will tell you something 100% reversed from what was actually said. This has been a pet peave of mine for years. I point out their consistant lies everytime the do it, and now know several hundred people that don't believe them either. Articles like your post will do more good than any other thing if there was only a way to get it more widespread. Post the lie and follow it up with an exact quote that even the most retarded leftie can check out. I pity the folks that listen to the once major news outlets and actually believe anything they hear.

Dadmanly (evidently a joke): The 16 words in the State of the Union Speach have now been proven without a doubt to have been true. Joe Wilson was a liar as first thought. Where have you been, hiding under a rock or under the cover with your male boss. Give it up, the release of Saddam's paper is, and will make fools of all of the retarded left wingers.

The only good thing about our MSM media is that they aren't nearly as competent as Al-Qaeda's propaganda apparatus. But they are just as despicable and evil.

In fact, while you're at it, click for the French version, which exploits French anti-Americanism as well as anti-Semitism.

In other words, these Palestinians are panderers with no sense of shame. What they have to say depends on whom they're talking to.

The Palestinian/Saudi/Al-Qaeda 3rd tier propaganda defense would never be caught in the same situation as Dan Rather, because they know to have 10 Dan Rathers, each for a different audience, therefore making accountability impossible.

Because you can hold the media accountable because all they write is in English, the media has to distort their corrections in order to shift blame, project, and defend themselves. It is not nearly as effective as the Palestinian solution.

I have seen military campaigns between high quality, low quantity forces against high quantitative forces with low quality technology. But I have never seen in human history, a military war between those who are experts in propagada and information analysis with zero military efficacy against someone with supremacy in military efficacy and inferior to no ability in propaganda and psychological warfare.

Vietnam was probably the closest, but even the Vietnamese had a regular army to back up the Vietcong.

Here you have people who only use propaganda and psychological weapons in warfare (suicide bombs and IEDs to get media attention) vs the greatest military force in the history of the world.

And it is of a set piece. Because of American military might, the American military has not focused much on the psychological aspects of war and improving upon them because they can just bring a bigger hammer. The Islamic Jihad, because they don't have a hammer, regardless of size, has been forced to focus on psychological warfare to replace all other assets.

I cannot recall any analogous scenario in human military history, where all or 95% of the psychological warfare assets were in enemy hands and 99% of the military power was in the ally's hands.

Maybe we need to resurrect Napoleon and get him to tell us how to solve his 3 to 1 ratio.

Because we all know that in the end, it is psychology that wins wars, not the simple expedient of killing enough of the enemy to make them stop. They will never stop if they believe they will win, and we cannot make them stop believing it without a psychological campaign of disinformation of our own.

I hope Bush either gets this, or we get someone who does in charge.

Dadmanly was with the 42nd ID in beautiful(joke) Salahadin province. As I believe, though I could be wrong, our host Greyhawk was. As I am certain, my child was.(Nuttin like gettin shot at before breakfast in downtown Sammara)

This stuff drives me insane. The MSM has absolutely NO shame and NO compunction about flat out LYING to forward their agenda.

The only good thing about is that they keep getting caught at it. Doesn't slow em down though.

Can we question their patriotism yet?
