Boehlert Nails the Warbloggers

Great reading -- Eric Boehlert on the warbloggers' obsession with the Associated Press.

Something doesn't add up here, and I assume it's something warbloggers don't want to address, as they cling to their anti-press fantasy to explain the Iraq debacle. Namely, if insurgents view journalists as their allies -- weapons in their sophisticated propaganda war against the United States -- then why are insurgents killing journalists at an alarming rate? The entire premise of the warblogger theory makes no sense.

With no facts to back up their allegations, warbloggers instead lean heavily on name-calling in their never-ending attempt to libel and smear journalists.

As Boehlert notes, pretty soon the warbloggers will claim it's the media's fault we lost the war in Iraq.
