Liberal Media Cover-Up Speaker Pelosi’s Slander of American Troops,
Crediting Iran for Iraq Success
At the 62-minute mark, Pelosi slandered and demeaned the hard-won successes of our armed forces in Iraq, saying “Whatever the military success and progress that may have been made, the surge didn't accomplish its goal. And some of the success of the surge is that the goodwill of the Iranians -- they decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they negotiated that cessation of hostilities -- the Iranians.”
No one at the Chronicle reported the Speaker’s vicious slander. Nor did NBC, ABC or CBS, CNN or MSNBC deem it fit for broadcast, either Thursday evening or at any point on Friday. The vaunted New York Times likewise did not deem this fit to print.
L. Brent Bozell:
“The liberal media continue to shred its tattered integrity with this willful exclusion of Nancy Pelosi’s atrocious remarks.
“The Speaker of the House of Representatives slanders our troops in Iraq, whose blood, toil and tremendous sacrifice have led to the great and growing success we have seen there, and the liberal media are silent.
“The Speaker’s slur is clearly newsworthy. Why then do the liberal media steadfastly refuse to report Pelosi’s comments?
“Perhaps because they know why it is newsworthy: because it so thoroughly damages the credibility and integrity of the person third in line to the Presidency.
“The media’s cover-up of Nancy Pelosi’s anti-U.S. troop comments is simply shameful.”
