"Journalists Are Not Our Friends" Letter in the FW Paper, Read It and Weep
Here is the Link

http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/news/opinion/local2/11694965.htm

Here is an exceprt:

"What about the lives that were lost because of Newsweek's incompetence? Can they be retracted? Or how about our already tarnished image that now is worse?...Journalists are not our friends; they're our enemies."


Whether this letter to the editor is for real or was written by someone working for the WhiteHouse trying to incite in its jackboot extremist followers violence towards WH critics, it should serve as a warning to not just journalists but anyone who values their right to freedom of expression.

2. These people just declare war on everyone, don't they?
And they blame the dead on Newsweek?


HOW ABOUT THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE MEEN KILLED OR WOUNDED BECAUSE WE ILLEGALLY INVADED IRAQ?



Sorry for shouting. I feel a bit better now. Can't ever feel good while * is out there ordering the murder of innocents.

3. Most MSM journalists are enemies, because they work for the right wing
Edited on Fri May-20-05 06:33 PM by Democat
Even Newsweek has only helped the Bush admin by retracting their story.

Don't be fooled - most of the media are friends of the right wing and enemies of people who care about what's best for America.

It doesn't apply to all journalists, but look how many of them helped get Bush elected and keep him in power. Many of them are nothing more than paid propaganda writers.
