A "bird" for the Bush is worth two for the media

Former General and top commander of coalition forces in Iraq, Ricardo Sanchez, laid down a covering fire, drawing snipers from every which side.

As the NYT saw it, "General Sanchez’s main criticism was leveled at the Bush administration...."

As Fox News saw it,
"much of the criticism of the media by Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez has been left unreported.

In his speech to the Military Reporters and Editors Association in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Sanchez accused reporters of "unscrupulous reporting, solely focused on supporting an agenda and preconceived notions of the U.S. military."
Guambat, being the hopelessly myopic creature that he is, saw it as just one more perplexed participant in a mindless shoot first and ask questions later knee jerking god fearing ring the wagons reaction in the total tragedy that started long before 9/11 but obtained spiritual strength from the slaughter, sort of an eye for an eye biblical/greek tragedy that marks us as humans better than our use of tools ever will.

Sigh.
