The Media Quagmire

The mainstream media understands the war in Iraq only through casualty counts and the Vietnam lens.

Scott Johnson writes in The Weekly Standard that The Elite Media Monoculture insists on seeing Iraq, and every other conflict for that matter, through the lens of Vietnam. Naturally this results in propaganda rather than informative coverage. Thankfully, the new media is around this time to offer an alternative to the depressing drumbeat of defeatism and surrender.
