Looks like bloggers have a job to do. Greg Sargent shines a light on yesterday's Army Times poll showing that "only 38% think there should be more troops there than there are now. In other words, only 38% favor a 'surge.'"
Get that? The support of the military in Iraq for the Bush administration has sunk to a new low.
But Sargent finds the media telling quite a different story.
Last week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates held a sit-down with a dozen troops who all just happened to favor bringing more troops in Iraq. The opinions of this handful of troops earned extensive coverage from CNN, The New York Times, the Associated Press, and Reuters. And yet, as best as I can determine, none of these same news orgs today mentioned the Military Times poll, even though it came out yesterday.
Our Imperial Media are only publicizing Bush Truthiness. They're headlining a Robert Gates breakfast with the troops in Iraq and every single one of them supported the "surge."
Blogfire is needed. Wild blogfire right under the media.
