El Opinador Compulsivo

(de Cox & Forkum)

Aparentemente, junio no está resultando positivo para la prensa de izquierda o el “periodismo independiente”, como se lo conoce en Argentina.

Me pregunto si el sesgo ideológico de los principales medios de EEUU es una cuestión comercial, darle al público lo que el público demanda. O si, aún perdiendo público, no pueden con el genio:

JUNE has been a miserable month for our left-wing media.

First, the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi forced the alleged "massacre" at Haditha off Page One, frustrating media attempts to manufacture a sequel to Abu Ghraib. Then, President Bush made a midnight ride to Baghdad to put one very important pair of boots on the ground. He didn't hug the airport, either, but crossed the city to the Green Zone for a face-to-face with Iraq's new prime minister. It was a brave and inspiring act. And a worthy one.

Strategically wise, good for Iraqi and American morale - and, yes, politically savvy - the president's trip blew apart the media's effort to recover from their loss of Zarqawi.

It also shut down their bid to refocus our attention on the suicides of three poor, deprived terrorists at Guantanamo - thugs we're expected to mourn as victims of our inhumanity. Hate-America journalists just can't get a break these days.
