Toby Harnden, a London Daily Telegraph reporter, recounts a story showing more bias in the U.S. media. Harnden tells of his encounter in Baghdad with “an American magazine journalist of serious accomplishment and impeccable liberal credentials”:

“Not only had she ‘known’ the Iraq war would fail but she considered it essential that it did so because this would ensure that the ‘evil’ George W. Bush would no longer be running her country.

“Her editors back on the East Coast were giggling, she said, over what a disaster Iraq had turned out to be. ‘Lots of us talk about how awful it would be if this worked out.’”

Should we be surprised to hear that at least some members of the U.S. media are actively cheering for America’s defeat?
