Bring the Today Show to Iraq

Good for Laura Ingraham! And hey, she doesn't care if she gets invited back on network TV, she has her own radio show! Just back from Iraq herself, she challenged NBC to bring the Today Show to Iraq. (Via Tim Graham, National Review online):

To do a show from Iraq means to talk to the Iraqi military to go out with the Iraqi military, to actually have a conversation with the people instead of reporting from hotel balconies about the latest IEDs going off.

And who better to be the recipient of her well-placed hit but the bratty David Gregory, the usual NBC White House reporter, acting as host.

The president held a town meeting in Wheeling, West Virginia this week. It wasn't a hand-picked crowd, as was usually the case in the campaign, but a group of Americans. The most emotion-filled moment was when a woman stood up and introduced her husband, just back from serving in Iraq. The president smiled and said, "Welcome Home". But the crowd really erupted in applause and surged to their feet when she said we are not seeing the positive side of what is going on in Iraq in the major media.

The president is tapping into the power of people's frustration with the maintream media elite.

Here's a good piece from Tom Bevan, RCP blog, "More on the Media Backlash Over Iraq".

And here's a soldier blogger, via HughHewitt, on the media belief "that being objective means not taking sides.":

But you can still tell the whole truth and root for your country to win. I don't see that as cheerleading, it's common sense. As it currently stands, the MSM is not telling the whole truth and actually siding with the enemy on occasion.

Great cartoon here.

Tell us about our heroes, because we know they are there, just doing their jobs.
