New York Times Editor Admits: We Slanted the News to push withdrawal from Iraq

(CNN.Com) A former Times news editor admits:
"We slanted the news towards a withdrawal from Iraq - because we had sons
there."

Speaking at the Journalists Conference on Saturday several former and current
news editors and reporters  discussed the tremendous influence they nearly all agreed they had on The United States  national agenda.


That's an actual news item, but I changed the media and location from the Israeli Broadcasting Authority and Lebanon. to something we can more easily relate to.  Here's the Actual report. This news drives home the power a nation's media exerts, and if allowed to run amok can guarantee defeat.  The broadcasters involved should face years in prison, if not a firing squad.  When the Bush Administration backed off charging New York Times editors with treason when they disclosed  our al-Qaeda tracking methodology, it sent the message that they're still playing something of a game,  not waging war.  The American media are certainly at war with our elected government, and they have no boundaries.
