AP's Anti-War Agenda

Austin Bay comments extensively on the Bogus "Burning Sunni" story I posted yesterday:

Key accusation:

"The MSM has been using bogus officials to supply chaos to their stories and based on those same stories has decided Iraq is now a official civil war."

The enemy cannot win the war for hearts and minds, it cannot win the war on the battlefield. The enemy believes it can win a war of perception. And who is helping them win that battle? “Aggressive” reporters who rely on phony sources or “stringers” who feed the reporters phony information.

This is a shame but it appears the MSM is desperately trying to repeat their success of bringing defeat in Vietnam 30 years ago, in a vain attempt to endere themselves with the public and redeem their fallen status. They will do so over the charred ruins of freedom and democracy, but whatever sells, right?
