Yon calls out the MSM

Michael Yon, correspondent from Afghanistan and Iraq who constantly reports both good and bad news (yes, lefties, there actually is good news from Iraq, and lots of it), is mystified at the disconnect between the reality of Iraq and the steaming pile of bovine loaf that the MSM feeds us.  He’s finally had it!

He’s offering FREE SYNDICATION of his dispatches to National Newspaper Association members.

…Although it took a little back and forth, and some additional pressure from all the other bloggers who started tracking on the topic, the AP finally dispatched a reporter to the scene. The resulting article was picked up by at least one other major media outlet, reaching thousands more people. This got me to thinking: what if I made a similar offer on a more permanent basis to a large media syndication, say, the National Newspaper Association?…

A ballsy move from a guy who sounds pretty damned pissed off. Also in this piece is a brutal take down of the media’s apparently bogus portrayal that Basra is falling apart in the wake of the Brit draw down. Bob Owens at CY gets props for leaning on AP hard too. 

You go, sir!
