I'm getting word of a big battle last week between terrorists and elements of the 82nd Airborne, east of Baghdad, near the Iranian border. According to one U.S. officer, the fighting "was intense," and the battle was one of the "five biggest" between our troops and insurgents in recent years....Big Battle Near Baghdad?, Spook86, Formerspook.blogspot.com, 11/20/2006
This has been reported on a few conservative talk shows and on a few other blogs, but you'd never know anything had happened from the big networks and papers. Instead, MSM has presented the opinions of superannuated (and retired) generals and ex-Secretaries of State. The rule in MSM these days seems to be that if there's nothing factual to report that agrees with the editorial slant then find some retired official to express a general opinion instead. Is anyone fooled? When a whole chorus sings off-key, it's still bad music.
