Attention: Reporters - RushOnline.com

DEMOCRAT MEMO to "Journalists":

Make sure to report only BAD news, to make viewers and readers think we're in a quagmire.

Make sure to report, infer, and imply that the "insurrection" is throughout Iraq, and not localized to a small area of a vast country.

Make sure to report a handful of Iraqi citizen human interest stories about how they've suffered under the "occupation," to create the impression that the entire population resents us and wants to return to Saddam.

Make sure to use the words "invasion" and "occupation" - never "liberation."

Make sure to report US military mistakes, missteps, and the conflicting analyses that inevitably happens on the battlefield - but never successes.

Always refer to Coalition presence there as "The US," "us," "we," and "our" - and ignore the thirty-some other countries involved in the effort.

Make sure to spotlight the relatively few returning dead or wounded soldiers and ignore the thousands who returned safely, alive and confident in the work being done there.

Further, ask those who are family survivors to their faces: "How do you feel about losing your loved one?" and "How do you feel about the Iraq War."

Focus always on yellow ribbons, funerals and the gloom-induced malaise necessary to pressure for withdrawal.

Always report on the tired old "Rent-A-Mob" protests numbering in the handfuls, as conclusive proof most Americans don't support the war.

Remember, your job as Journalists is to advocate and spin a point of view at all times harmful to George W. Bush and US interests, never to report the FACTS.
