I just sent a long email to ABC News stating point-by-point why their current "most emailed article" on their website is completely false.  Also, I mentioned the "unmentioned background" of one of their sources.

I also added a "letter to the editor" version at the end of the diary. Feel free to cut and paste to send to your own representatives and/or media people.

Update [2005-9-7 7:3:45 by bartman]: In yet another update, it appears the Washington Post is also taking some heat for printing anonymously sourced lies.... Check it out at Media Matters

New article out by the AP:

National Guard Sees Parallels to Baghdad

NEW ORLEANS - A month ago, this steamy riverfront offered Michael Rogers a much-needed vacation after a year's tour in Iraq. His head was spinning when he returned in his National Guard uniform, unable to shake the similarities to his time on the streets of Baghdad.

An angry crowd. A hot blazing sun. A murky mixture of resentment and gratitude.
