Aug 1: New Standard for Incompetence

The J article, “U.S. Troop Deaths Decline,” set a new standard for journalistic duplicity and incompetence. And for the Journal, that is a high bar to surpass.

While Wednesday’s Journal COMPLETELY IGNORED the six U.S. troops which died in Iraq on Tuesday, it ran another irresponsible story which continued the J’s attempt to promote the war as “improving.”

Yes, it is true that less U.S. troops died in Iraq in July than in the previous seven months, however, more of our soldiers died in this July than in ANY PREVIOUS JULY in five years of Cheney and Bush’s tragic war.

How misleading can the Journal get?
