Rumsfeld accuses US media of misleading the public
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has criticised the American media for producing misinformation

At a briefing at the Pentagon in Washington, the Defence Secretary came under heavy questioning about the safety of US troops who are helping deal with rebels in the southern Philippines.

Mr Rumsfeld accused one journalist of trying to stir up trouble and told the assembled group of reporters that, generally, they are feeding the world wrong information.

"You get told things every day that don't happen, it doesn't seem to bother people, it gets printed in the press, the world thinks all these things happen, they never happen," he said.

"Everyone's so eager to get the story before, in fact, the story's there that the world is constantly being fed things that haven't happened."
