Washington Post's Hirohito Moment

Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell materially distorted reality in his testimony to Congress.

The milquetoast headline in The Washington Pravda Post is — brace yourself — Iraq Wiretap Delay Not Quite as Presented.

Not quite as presented!

Where have I heard something like that before? Hmmm….

Despite the best that has been done by everyone … the war situation has developed not necessarily to our advantage.”

– Emperor Hirohito, Radio Broadcast Announcing Japan’s Surrender, August 15, 1945

I’m actually starting to think Brad DeLong s right—surely the Post can’t survive if it continues like this? If people want this sort of work, they might as well buy the Washington Times.

Ha! Thanks for documenting that. The officials and the media sound more and more like Baghdad Bob every day.
