The Media Finally Noticed

The American Thinker weighs in on a point I made about media coverage of the ongoing "Operation Swarmer" in Iraq:

Don’t tell the antique media, but joint Iraqi-coalition forces Operations such as Swarmer have been ongoing, executed as part of the US strategy to kill and/or capture terrorists and their cells, especially those suspected of having anything to do with bomb making or bomb attacks. Let’s go back a year, to March 7, 2005, when a combined force of Iraqi police commandos, Public Order Battalion personnel and local Iraqi police conducted an operation near Samarra that netted 54 suspected terrorists, a large weapons cache and several vehicles. It was Day One of a 3-day anti-terrorist operation.

And they give many other examples. If the press would stop second guessing the President and just start doing their job of reporting facts, they could see things aren't as bad as it seems. But that would be the smart thing to do.
