Whither Rush Goest, So Goes FOX News; FOX Now Insults War Generals

Glenn Greenwald: As we learned from both our Senate and House last week, in the United States we must never “attack the honor and integrity . . . of members of the United States Armed Forces.” All good patriots from both parties agree on this.

That is why I was so shocked and outraged — and more than a little upset — when I went to FoxNews.com this morning and saw this:

I naturally assumed that the “disgraceful military leaders” attacked by the Fox headline must be those of another country, not those of the United States leading our Nation, putting themselves in harm’s way, during a Time of War. Yet when I clicked on the item, this is the anti-military filth that I found:

And the text of the article — by Fox News Contributor and frequent O’Reilly guest David Hunt — is even more Despicable, as it repeatedly attacks the honor and integrity of members of the United States Armed Forces in one smearing paragraph after the next, beginning with this first sentence:

Our generals are betraying our soldiers . . . again.

And yet, Brit Hume still couldn’t keep himself from making a few anti-MoveOn.org slams this morning on FOX News Sunday. Et tu, Brit?

LSB: I guess I need to call Sen. Cornyn and find out when he plans to draft a resolution regarding FAUX News' attack on the honor of our serviceman. Afterall, what's good for MoveOn.org is good for FAUX News... and Rush.
