More reasons why US troops hate the MSM

Is it any wonder that the men and women of our military don’t trust the Drive-by Media? The Al Qaeda Times of New York has repeatedly concocted and printed story-after-story that either slanders our troops, puts them at greater risk by encouraging our enemies, or just flat out making shit up about them.

Like this, where the DOD asked the NY Times editorial page to correct an error:

Oct. 24, 2006 —The Pentagon today asked the New York Times to correct an editorial, which claimed that “There have never been enough troops, the result of Mr. Rumsfeld’s negligent decision to use Iraq as a proving ground for his pet military theories, rather than listen to his generals.” Whether the Times believes there were (or are) enough troops in Iraq, it is demonstrably untrue that troop levels in Iraq are the result of Secretary Rumsfeld’s “not listening to his generals.”

Generals involved in troop-level decisions have been very clear on this matter, making numerous statements that are not new—or difficult—to find, such as extensive commentary in General Franks’s book, American Soldier. The implication is that the New York Times either believes these generals are not being truthful, or that they are too intimidated to tell the truth. The Pentagon would vigorously dispute both characterizations.

Not surprisingly, the NY Times refused the Pentagon’s request to correct its ficticious editorial.

I know why our military personnel hate the NY Times. But why does the NY Times hate our Military so much?
