			<description><![CDATA[Here we go again, another Galloway debacle. I cant believe that I am defending a media moonbat like David Barstow from the NY Times, but these moonbats eat each otherƒ??s young like a $2.99 special at Dennyƒ??s. Galloway started off this article by saying that he wrote it on behalf of ƒ??an old friendƒ?. He tells us that he knows Gen. McCaffrey, his father and son (perhaps his dog, cat and parakeet as well). Based on Gallowayƒ??s character reference we are assured that Barstowƒ??s accusations couldnƒ??t possibly be true. As evidence Galloway spends a great deal of the article writing about his ole war days with the general. On the Internet I am used to moonbats citing their pro-military credentials and in this case, despite Gallowayƒ??s moonbattery, he actually has very solid background in this regard. But the brown-nosing is like finger nails on a chalk board. Regardless, Gen. McCaffreyƒ??s military background or heroism is not questioned in Barstowƒ??s article. It actually deals with a subject that Galloway often writes about, the alleged attempt by the Pentagon to unduly influence the media. Galloway loves to rant on this issue, but when it comes to his good old boy network, nepotism trumps ideology. Perhaps loyalty to your friends is more important than good journalism. I canƒ??t attest to Gallowayƒ??s character because I donƒ??t know him, but he has given me a great deal of insight into his sloppy journalistic pursuits. Gallowayƒ??s readers should take his anti-Pentagon diatribes with a grain of salt in light of this. As far as this article is concerned, all we have are glowing character references to base our conclusion on. In this manner, a 5,000-word article is rebutted without hardly any reference to the specific points that it highlights. Any decent writer would at least link or quote the article that he or she is criticizing as a matter of professional courtesy and conduct. Yet there is nothing professional about Galloway. Here is a link to the articleƒ?? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/washington/30general.html?ref=us]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["Whether NBC News, for whom he worked as a military analyst, should have disclosed McCaffrey's business dealings is a different issue." This is indeed an important portion of a complete picture. When the major news outlets present news and commentary the viewers are led to believe those sources have been 1) fact checked 2) vetted 3) no fiduciary obligations. There is an air of inappropriatene ss surrounding this trifecta of Washington DC industries - an industry which utilizes insider knowledge, media access and lobbying. There are literally thousands of consulting firms in the Washington DC/NYC Media corridor and these firms all have one thing in common - interlocking corporate directorships. Gen. Barry R. McCaffrey may be an honorable man but Three Card Molly is a cheap game. Taxpayers and news consumers deserve - nay demand - transparency and accountability.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I find it impossible to read Calloway. I try, but when I read things like "powerful dung beetle" in reference to Rumsfeld I stop reading. Calloway's BDS so badly distorts his thinking that I seriously wonder if he is now senile Michael's admiration of Calloway and dedication to posting Calloway's rants is admirable, but a pitiful waste of time and internet space]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree, the NYT piece on McCaffrey was a real drive-by smear. I have read some of his reports and they are very truthful and clear, not biased or 'bought'.]]></description>
