So, The News Is A Weapon Of Mass Destruction?

Ummm... Ya, that makes sense.... Found this little gem through Media Matters.

'9/11 Changed Everything' (Link to WSJ article)
Twentieth-century rules will not win a 21st-century war.

We are past the point of legal abstraction. We know the nature of the enemy's tactics, the use of loaded airplanes and the pursuit of WMD. Suicide bombings -- human beings used as weapons to kill civilians -- have become the portable gas chambers of terrorism. The use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) qualifies as a weapon of mass destruction, insofar as mass media distribute the dead, dismembered victims into our living rooms morning and night, causing some to give up.

OOOOOKAAYY! Just plain ridiculous. Continuing to reinforce the "Right's meme dujour", that the media doesn't report the good things Iraq, Henninger and his ilk fall into the same logical trap. Danny, you are a journalist, if you got the 4-11 on some good stuff going on in Iraq YOU report it.

C'mon tell us of all the good things. Be the counter-point for the "liberal" media's trashing of your boy, Shrub's, legacy.

Let's be honest folks IF there was any good news in Iraq worth even a blurb, Hannity, O'Reilly and Limbaugh would be foaming on TV and radio reporting it. Laura Ingrate would be tearing out Coulter's adams apple to scoop her. Malkin however would be lost in the residual haze of defending Japanese interment.

That's an idea! We all know "The Loofa" has been in combat, with a pen not a gun of course, so let him go to Baghdad. He can use Hannity's "pulpit" from the Terri Schiavo freakshow and let him report, with Rush as his anchor, from outside the Green Zone! Hey here's a better one Danny, how about you go, you find the good stuff, and then get back to us.

I will not be holding my breath.
