Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez Iraq Criticisms
Oh yeah, and he criticizes the Antique Media too, but you would be hard-pressed to know it unless you read here.
All are focused on his criticism of the Bush administration for inadequate strategy and prosecution of the war.
However, neither the New York Times or Associated Press mention that over 40% of Sanchez’ speech severely took the major media to task. The Washington Post merely mentions it, and then underplays it at the end of its report, giving it 67 out of about 850 words in its coverage:
Sanchez opened by criticizing the U.S. news media, saying he was unfairly labeled “a liar” and “a torturer” because of the Abu Ghraib scandal, and he alleged that the media have lost their sense of ethics. He said that members of the media blow stories out of proportion and are unwilling to correct mistakes, and that the “media environment is doing a great disservice to the nation.”
UPDATE:
Ouch: Custer Blames Grant.
