Good Comeback

Brazos de Dios Cantina has the best comeback yet to Chrisitiane Amanpour's drivel about her misreporting of the situation in Iraq during the war. First, Ms. Amanpour's statement:

I think the press was muzzled, and I think the press self-muzzled. I'm sorry to say, but certainly television and, perhaps, to a certain extent, my station was intimidated by the administration and its foot soldiers at Fox News. And it did, in fact, put a climate of fear and self-censorship, in my view, in terms of the kind of broadcast work we did.

And, from Fox News' Irena Briganti:
Given the choice, it's better to be viewed as a foot soldier for Bush than a spokeswoman for al-Qaeda.

Heh.

Considering CNN practiced "self-censorship" when Saddam was in power to keep their office open, I guess they are doing a bad job of being an open and honest news organization.

Not that this is a surprise, really.
