PM Blair Blames Media for Anti-War Mood

The British PM voices out loud the crime being committed on US and UK national security by their own media, whose dedicated and lurid coverage of all the mishaps and carnage of the Iraq War without a balancing positive side prejudices the average viewer with their drumbeats of negativity and defeatism. Blair's eloquence transcends the bleats of the MSM "boneless wonders:"

"[Islamic terrorists] have realized two things: the power of terrorism to cause chaos, hinder and displace political progress especially through suicide missions; and the reluctance of Western opinion to countenance long campaigns, especially when the account it receives is via a modern media driven by the impact of pictures.

"They now know that if a suicide bomber kills 100 completely innocent people in Baghdad, in defiance of the wishes of the majority of Iraqis who voted for a non-sectarian government, then the image presented to a Western public is as likely to be, more likely to be, one of a failed Western policy, not another outrage against democracy."

The Independent article has a subtitle "blame the messenger." In many cases, the MSM messengers consciously align with terrorism and brutality to score domestic political gains and scorn the democratic right to free speech that allows them to impugn the motives of their elected leaders.

Their true colors were displayed after Saddam's execution, which the NYT absurdly criticized. I'd love to see what Saddam would have done to Pinch Sulzberger and his gang of forty leakers.
