Bomb The Messenger

News today that Tony Blair had to talk Pres. George Bush out of bombing the Al-Jazeera news network reminds us of the extremes Bush and company will go to to control the propaganda.

The Arab news network has done many things the White House resents including airing pictures of war wounded, reporting on Iraqi casualty numbers, and offering alternative views of the war.

Looks like CBS got rid of Dan Rather just in time. If the reckless news maverick was allowed to go on any longer bombs would be raining down on CBS News headquarters in NYC.
