Do you consider Moveon.org part of the media?

They were always under fire from congress and painted as incompetent death mongers.....

For a time they were under fire, as civilians in charge of the Legislative Branch wanted answers as to why civilians in charge of the Executive Branch were making so many mistakes.

take a read and see if you notice a change in tone from the media?

So you're blending Moveon.org, some out for political gain in Congress and the media into one convenient soup?
That's mighty convenient of you. Sure makes your argument a lot easier.
Do you also bend spoons?

Here is my favorite part -
"About Iraq he said, "in the three years since the surge was launched, levels of violence down by well over 90 percent now, violent civilian deaths down by well over 90 percent, high-profile attacks down by over 90 percent and all the rest."
hmmm, shouldnt a news report mention that the president and ALL OF THE CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS were against this surge??? Isnt that something to report????? I know, I'm looney.

The report is about the superstar status of the General, not a chapter from a history book.
I'd note there are other Generals worth reading about.
Pick up a copy of "The Fourth Star" which is a great read...or if you're nice I could loan you my copy.
