MICHAEL GRAHAM calls Tom Toles’ cartoon in today’s Washington Post “disgusting and outrageous.”

UPDATE: Meanwhile here’s Neal Boortz on the media:

It’s already started: the media is rooting for us to lose the war on terror. Today, The Washington Post has declared that there is a “fear of failure growing.” Once again, the doom and gloom media has declared the war lost. The terrorists must be thrilled. The whole terrorist game plan in the Middle East and in Iraq is based on creating an atmosphere of fear, gloom and doom in the American citizenry. It seems as if some of these media outlets actually have signed on to help the Islamo-fascists achieve that very goal. We have 150,000 troops deployed, the country of Iraq remains under our control, and casualties for the whole war are under a thousand. If we hold on to our resolve this situation is winnable. That, however, wouldn’t be good for the left and for those who want America to follow instead of to lead.

Downplay the good, hammer the bad. Run the Abu Ghraib story on the front page for three weeks. Bury the Nick Berg story after one day. Ignore the Sarin and mustard gas finds. If the story will help Bush, bury it. If it will hurt Bush, run it day after day.

Is this kind of perception, already widespread, going to be good for the press?
