I would say this is a far more regrettable situation for Milbank than Obama ... parsing a subjects comment to change its meaning is a propagandist's game ... not a respectable journalists.

From Wikipedia:

"Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented."

It is hard to argue with the definition of what Mr. Milbank and his Editor at the Washington Post allowed in this case.

I would release a clarification at least if I were the Washington Post ... missteps like this reflect on the character and credibility of the paper as a whole ... and although Mr Milbank holds blogs in such low esteem, hopefully someone at the Washington Post is taking into account what is being discussed online regarding this issue. It's in their best interests.

Trey, as disconcerting as this is, it was to be expected, What is truly despicable and requires attention from all Americans is the allegations that Greg Palast discusses in his latest e-mail: "In swing-state Colorado, the Republican Secretary of State conducted the biggest purge of voters in history, dumping a fifth of all registrations. Guess their color. In swing-state Florida, the state is refusing to accept about 85,000 new registrations from voter drives - overwhelming Black voters. In swing state New Mexico, HALF of the Democrats of Mora, a dirt poor and overwhelmingly Hispanic county, found their registrations disappeared this year, courtesy of a Republican voting contractor. In swing states Ohio and Nevada, new federal law is knocking out tens of thousands of voters who lost their homes to foreclosure. My investigations partner spoke directly to Barack Obama about it. (When your partner is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., candidates take your phone call.) The cool, cool Senator Obama told Kennedy he was "concerned" about the integrity of the vote in the Southwest in particular. He's concerned. I'm sweating." I'm sweating too! ... Let's make sure that the overt smear tactics displayed in McCain's left hand don't detract from the covert and anti-democratic actions performed by his right hand ... the GOP

The most important thing Obama pointed out is the partisanship that exists in the MSM ... These high priced "journalists" are anything but Neutral ... why pretend otherwise?

Krauthammer and Brooks are conservatives with a horse in the race and their commentary and observations should be evaluated with that in mind.

Military Blocks Photos Of US Dead

The US Government and Military are telling us that things are better in Iraq ... that violence is down ... that "The Surge" is working, but what independent proof do we have that any of their statements are true?

Would Andrea Mitchell, for instance, feel comfortable taking a driver into Baghdad without a heavily armed military escort? How about sending Hannity, Rush, Savage, O'Reilly out to Iraq and let them do a walkabout without bodyguards? Would they do it? Would they bet their lives on the fact that "The Surge" is as successful as they claim?

Come on, gentle friends on the Right ... prove to we Liberals how successful we have been at improving security ... send some of your highly paid pundit heroes "in country" ... not to hangout in the Officer's Mess, but maybe even meet some Iraqi civilians in their Baghdad hamlets ... Throw Michelle Malkin out there, she's tough.

Educate us on our success.
