News From The Rear

Here’s a facinating first-person account from a recently-returned US Marine about how the Washington Post’s Baghdad bureau is mis-reporting the news (big hat tip to the Blogfaddah). The punchline:

Since I saw [Post bureau chief] Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s integrity up close, I haven’t believed a word he writes, or any story coming out of the bureau he runs. You shouldn’t, either.

Gee, I wonder if the Post will pick this one up as an op-ed?

Since you already know the answer to that, read the whole thing at the link above. Like lots of other important stories, you won’t be seeing it in newsprint anytime soon.
