LINDA FOLEY IS THE POWERFUL HEAD of the newspaper guild, which gives her license to make comments like this about the American military:

“They target and kill journalists … uh, from other countries, particularly Arab countries like Al -, like Arab news services like al-Jazeera, for example. They actually target them and blow up their studios with impunity. …”

Like Eason Jordan, she has absolutely no evidence of this, nor does she seem inclined to attempt providing any. La Shawn Barber has more, including a pile of links, and this lame attempt at a retraction:

When asked if she believed U.S. troops had targeted journalists in Iraq, she said, “I was careful of not saying troops, I said U.S. military. Could I have said it differently? There are 100 different ways of saying this, but I’m not sure they would have appeased the right.”

As far as I am concerned, the MSM has become completely obsolete. Sadly, this is so not because of technology or disinterest in news, but through their own incompetence and anti-American agenda.
