MIA the rest of the story

Over the weekend the media was filled with the criticism Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez directed towards the administration regarding Iraq.

Here's the headline from the New York Times...

Ex-Commander Says Iraq Effort Is ‘a Nightmare’

What they, and most other media outlets, failed to report was all of Sanchez's criticism...

Sanchez accused reporters of "unscrupulous reporting, solely focused on supporting an agenda and preconceived notions of the U.S. military."

Sanchez said "parent media organizations" have political agendas that direct the news coverage of the war and in some cases put U.S. service members in deadly situations.

"What is clear to me is that you are perpetuating the corrosive partisan politics that is destroying our country and killing our service members who are at war. My assessment is that your profession, to some, has strayed from these ethical standards and allowed external agendas to manipulate what the American public sees on TV, reads in newspapers and what they see on the Web."

"Over the course of this war, tactically insignificant events have become strategic defeats for America because of the tremendous power and impact of the media and by extension, you the journalist."

The main stream media, avoiding the truth because they can't handle the truth and the scientific community is united in that fact.
