I'm sure it is a little of both, but whatever the cause, the consequences to our efforts are the same, and give the enemy victories that they could never hope to gain on their own.

Reuters hates the US military and AP is almost as bad. I think Bush could have taken them on years ago and hurt their diminished credibility. It's too late now, they successfully weakened him. The media reporting on this war is a terrible. The are obsessed with numbers, US numbers and they love stories of misbehavior of US troops. They provide no context, no understanding of what is going on, the big picture. In fact, the media is just another player on the enemy's team. Future military studies will examine how to deal wih this media in future wars. The wire services, most of all, are harming our war effort. Reuters hates the US military and AP is almost as bad.
