I spent an hour or so at the Milblog Conference listening to the participants from the media telling a room full of milbloggers how the world doesn’t need us anymore because the mainstream media has the military all figured out. I talked with the guy from the New York Times (who knows what his name was) and even though he admitted that he read TAH regularly (he quoted some of my more memorable moments, so I know it’s true), he still had air of arrogance about him because he was from the Times. Then there was Greg Jaffe<\/a> from the Washington Post who leaned back in his chair onstage and pontificated about how smart he was now after ten years of war. Yeah, I didn’t talk to him at the time because I didn’t trust myself to be face-to-face with him.<\/p>\n

But someone sent us a link to this from Howard Kurtz<\/a> at the Post who tells America that Obama doesn’t make “gaffes” because he’s talking to the media and the media understands him, but you ignorant f*cks out in the heartland don’t;<\/p>\n

Yeah, that’s why the media interviews asshats like Jake Diliberto and Leo Webb<\/a>. And they had to rob TSO’s posts last week about Tim Poe, because they don’t need milblogs. When I emailed another media critic at the Post last week about them stealing from us on that Poe story, I was told “if you want credit, go to college”. <\/p>\n

Screw the Post. Call me for another interview – you don’t need the public, you arrogant pricks. How’s that WaPo stock doing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
