#2 Jeff Jacoby was suspended for four months by the Boston Globe; it just happened to be the four months leading up to the 2000 election. I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again.

#3 The media didn't 'report' the 2000 dead americans -- they celebrated it. With absolute glee!

They (and Cindy Shithan, Mike Al-moore, etc..) were so very happy! For a few moments they could forget and imagine that their side was winning!

#4 Sedition of a Active War effort IS illegal and can be prosecuted and tried in the US. It is backed up by good law. Unfortunatley we have Bush who is a nice guy and wont even go out and rally the people calling out the LLL tards. Instead he sits on his thumb waiting for the polls to drop then goes out in defence mode to try to rebound the loss. Offensive is the way to fight war and politics. The media should be called out by Bush every press conference he should be proclaiming these kind of stats asking why is the media trying to undermine the US war effort the LLL's are understandable they are putting partisan politics ahead of the Nation but the Media are they partisian tooo??? the people will rally on that and the media will adjust to keep the people watching but defensive dont work.

#5 Good point and observation, C-low. Bush & Co. have been far too passive in countering the MSM. I guess they are afraid of appearing critical of the MSM because, hey, the government shouldn't criticize the MSM. We all know that would signal the dawn of a fascist society. It's just another example of the double-standard rampant throughout the LLL establishment, in particular the MSM: WE can criticize the government but the government CAN'T criticize us.

That said, I think this administration would have more success in building their case for the WoT, Iraq, etc. if they were more proactive and aggressive in communicating the fundamental reasons behind them. It frustrates me to no end when I see them let another opportunity to do so slip by, with ever increasing frequency, it seems.
