Michael Yon’s challenge to the MSM

By Kevin

Resistance is futile: You will be (mis)informed.

Today I am in Iraq, back in a war of such strategic consequence that it will affect generations yet unborn—whether or not they want it to. Hiding under the covers will not work, because whether it is good news or bad, whether it is true or untrue, once information is widely circulated, it has such formidable inertia that public opinion seems impervious to the corrective balm of simple and clear facts.

Anyone who has been in Iraq for longer than a few months, visited a handful of provinces, and spoken with a good number of Iraqis, likely would acknowledge that the reality here is complex and dynamic. But in the last six months it also has been increasingly hopeful, despite what the pessimistic dogma dome allows Americans and British to believe…

…The only antidote for this toxic press is a steady dose of detailed stories about the amazing men and women who serve in the United States military.

So, what is Michael doing? He’s offering his work FREE to any newspaper in the country that wants to print it. How many will take his offer? He loses a lot of money by doing this, so we need to support his efforts here.
