"Having said that, to cover up these incidents in order to maintain troop morale and keep the home front happy, or to justify them by saying the other side side does it (no matter how true that may be) so we must do it too, is a perversion of everything this country stands for. And to intimate that accurate and fair reporting of these incidents is unpatriotic is as disgusting to me as deliberately exaggerating or making up these reports for political reasons."

I don't think this is a problem with MSM- even if a Dem was the president, the MSM loves to cover this stuff, as much as say covering Michele Jackson. The MSM loves to play make believe that they are speaking truth to power. Of course, when they are real risks involved and something that is really a challenge and something that could be actually costly- such as the dealings with Saddam. That's different. Licking the boots of that kind of power is standard practice. How else could you get the story, etc?
