The Bush administration has provided White House media credentials to a man who has virtually no journalistic background... Reporter for the Boston Globe? Or NY Times?

Hugh Hewitt Type "Mattis" into the search engines of the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Boston Globe and the Los Angeles Times and you will find stories here, here, here, and here on United States Marine Corps General James Mattis' remarks on war fighting made this past Tuesday. Type "Eason Jordan" into those same search engines and you will get nothing concerning Jordan's scandalous accusation at Davos on January 27 that the American military "targeted" and killed a dozen journalists in Iraq. Zip. Nothing. The elite media instantly saddles up to ride to the condemnation of a speech given by a warrior much beloved and respected by his troops --a genuine hero and charismatic war-winner who believes in closing with and killing the enemy before they kill his troops and more civilians, and for whose ideology of fascism he has complete contempt. But let the speech be given by a MSM big, and let the subject be a slander on the entire American military, and the result is total MSM silence. This is why there is near complete contempt for the MSM among center-right people. Think about it. Every major paper has an anti-Mattis story. Not one has even mentioned Jordan. hughhewitt.com

NBC Reporter Refuses to Disclose How Much She Received From Ted Turner WASHINGTON -- A New York Sun report today indicates that Lisa Fasulo, NBC and MSNBC correspondent to the UN, has defended her work and denied a conflict of interest stemming from a grant she received from Ted Turner's United Nations Foundation to help pay for her book, An Insider's Guide to the UN. News of the grant was first reported by Accuracy in Media (AIM) Editor Cliff Kincaid. AIM is calling on NBC News to reveal how much money Fasulo has taken from Ted Turner's UN Foundation. In a column released on Wednesday, Kincaid charged that the financial relationship may explain why she is so pro-UN in her 2004 book. Fasulo "would not say how much money she received from the United Nations Foundation, which Ted Turner created in 1997 with $1 billion of his fortune," The New York Sun has now reported in its follow-up story. Among other things, the book whitewashes UN chief Kofi Annan's role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide. In email messages to Ms. Fasulo that were not answered, Kincaid asked her: "How much money did you accept from the UN Foundation, Better World Campaign, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund?" These are entities that she acknowledges helped underwrite the book project in some manner. Kincaid also asked her: "In the part of your book on Kofi Annan and Rwanda, you ignore the genocide fax from Annan's office showing that he refused authorization for UN troops on the ground to prevent genocide. Why did you ignore that?" Accuracy In Media (AIM) is a non-profit, grassroots citizens watchdog of the news media that critiques botched and bungled news stories and sets the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage.
