Bill O’Reilly has written a scathing attack of the anti-war media in his Boston Herald op-ed. Here’s one of his most riveting observations:

Perhaps the biggest reason so many Americans are confused about the chilling dangers posed by Islamic fascism is the reportage of the terror war by the liberal print press. Day after day, committed left-wing newspapers frame their coverage with an emphasis on the inadequacies of the Bush administration or Israel, not the aggressive worldwide jihad that seeks nuclear weapons.

I’ve railed against the Agenda Media for quite some time so this isn’t news to me. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that, had Napoleon been a Democrat and had there been the Agenda Media then that we have now, nobody would’ve heard of Waterloo.

A good example of this was Ralph Peters’ columns from Iraq in the aftermath of the Samarra Mosque bombing. Peters ridiculed the NY Times for their declaration of civil war in Iraq with some of the most biting sarcasm I’ve ever read:

I’M trying. I’ve been trying all week. The other day, I drove another 30 miles or so on the streets and alleys of Baghdad. I’m looking for the civil war that The New York Times declared. And I just can’t find it. Maybe actually being on the ground in Iraq prevents me from seeing it. Perhaps the view’s clearer from Manhattan. It could be that my background as an intelligence officer didn’t give me the right skills.

Col. Peters is occasionally a guest on the O’Reilly Factor. He never disappoints with his observations. He isn’t a Bush apologist by any stretch but he knows what he’s talking about.

Thus, no matter what the president does now, and no matter how much danger nations such as Iran present to the world, the liberal dailies are not going to play it strong. The big story is, and will remain, that Bush is an idiot.
That kind of narrow media groupthink is dangerous. Granting Hezbollah moral equivalency with Israel, putting forth that America is a nation of human rights violators, and labeling Iraq a failure before all the dust has settled, all these things absolutely make life easier for the jihadists. That may not be the intention of the left-wing press, but that very well may be the result of their own jihad.

Bill, Moral relativism is the hallmark of the Agenda Media. We shouldn’t be surprised by it, just disappointed that they choose to not see the real world, at least while a Republican is president.
