The
latest in an extensive list of media related controversies involved
Reuters where their arab photographer was caught doctoring photos of
Israel's offensive into Lebanon to provide security for its people and
stop Hezbollah rocket attacks on its sovereignty. The
photographs were doctored to make Israel look bad. To be fair
Reuters probably did not know what was happening until the problem was
uncovered. However, this was not the first time a reporter or
photographer was caught doing something scandalous.
Jayson Blair who wrote for the New York Times fabricated many stories
that he wrote for the newspaper, another reporter broke a story for the
New York Times about secret prison camps located overseas and sponsored
by the Central Intelligence Agency. The American people may never
be told whether that story is true or not however if those camps are
there to help our national security I for one am all for them,
and last but certainly not least other New York Times reporters broke
the Wiretapping program story. AMERICA IS NOW MORE UNSAFE THAN IT
WAS BEFORE BECAUSE OF THOSE REPORTERS. My point here is
that a trend is emerging with liberal reporters that indicates that
they believe they can publish anything even if the information they
uncover is classified. In short they have lost touch that
THE SOLDIER, not the reporter gives this country freedom of the press
and if THE SOLDIER had not have provided us with that right many of
them would be without jobs. Because of this liberal media
fanaticism against President Bush and our government they cannot be
trusted to give accurate depictions of what is going on in the world
