It is not just the military

Secretary Rumsfield, in his remarks to John Hopkins students commented today -

We have arrived at a strange time in this country where the worst about America and our military seems to be so quickly taken as truth by the press and reported and spread around the world -- with little or no context or scrutiny -- let alone correction or accountability -- even after the fact. Speed it appears is often the first goal, not accuracy, not context.

Unfortunately, while his commentary on the military coverage and the misreporting in the Middle East, his remarks were true for most of what the MSM calls news.
