And I do believe you have made a good point about my oversimplifying
the monolithic nature of big media -- I was a bit surprised to see
this statement by founder of USA Today:
Neuharth Calls For US Withdrawal from Iraq, Says Bush 'Lied'
Editor & Publisher
Friday 01 July 2005
New York - There he goes again. USA Today founder Al Neuharth, who
caused a stir last year when - a bit ahead of the curve - he told E&P
that he favored a US withdrawal from Iraq, re-iterated his position
Friday, with even more force.
"I'm convinced the best way to support our troops in Iraq is to
bring them home. Sooner rather than later," Neuharth, a Bronze Star
winner in World War II, declared. He also compared President Bush to
President Lyndon B. Johnson, saying that both presidents "lied to us
in wartime."
Neuharth added, in his weekly column Friday in the newspaper he
founded: "The crucial difference between Vietnam and Iraq is that
there is no Cronkite to call Bush's bluff. Without a strong, trusted,
non-political voice, too many of us remain Bush-blinded. Bush tried
keeping the wool over our eyes again Tuesday on national TV by
repeatedly tying Iraq to 9/11. That charge is as phony as his
discredited prewar claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass
destruction."
Pointing to his own experience, Neuharth wrote: "Most of us who
have had personal war experiences strongly believe this great country
is worth fighting for at risk of lives. My World War II Bronze Star
and Combat Infantryman's Badge on the wall behind my desk remind me of
that daily.
"They also remind me that war is hell, that we must fully support
our servicemen and women and put their lives at risk only for honest
and just and noble causes."
