If you can stomach it, you might want to check out Jeff Gannon’s take on the Priest WaPo article. http://www.jeffgannon.com/archives/general/index.html#a000875
Gannon, that exemplar of journalistic integrity, titles his post “Washington Post = Fifth Column” and then offers: “Fifth column: Any clandestine group or faction of subversive agents who attempt to undermine a nation's solidarity. (Britannica.com)”
It has gems like: “Two glaring omissions in the article: 1. There is no mention of the morale among many of the troops recovering at Walter Reed - which is overwhelmingly positive.” Feel better now? Jeff Gannon says the morale is “overwhelmingly positive.”
And this: “Priest’s latest effort is aimed at the survivors of the global war on terror and pits them against the country for which they fought and sacrificed.” Got that? She’s, like, totally pitting.
