What Media Bias?

An absolutely amazing example of naked, unrestrained bias, in a photograph from the Vietnam War dug up and republished today by the Associated Press with this jaw-dropping caption:
Two infantrymen sprint across the clearing in War Zone D where a U.S. battalion is trapped under automatic weapons fire from surrounding Viet Cong troops, 50 miles northeast of Saigon, Vietnam, in this June 18, 1967 black-and-white file photo. Bush administration officials bristle at the suggestion that the war in Iraq might look anything like the Vietnam war. Yet even as 2005’s anti-war protests recall memories of yesteryear’s demonstrations, President Bush’s own words eerily echo those of President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1967, a pivotal year in Vietnam.

“2005’s anti-war protests recall memories of yesteryear’s demonstrations?”
Funny, I remember a lot more than 30 people at “yesteryear’s demonstrations.”

And this photo is accompanied by a mind-blowingly biased article: Bush’s Words on Iraq Echo LBJ in 1967.
They really do want us to lose in Iraq.
