Ah what would we do without the independence of the media

I think that within 4 years a lot of the newspapers involved in this nonsense will wish they had answered in the way a single US paper did:

“To the German Commander, “Nuts!” The American Commander.”

Oh sorry that was the answer of a different American who found himself isolated and surrounded by those against him. The US paper’s answer was slightly different:

“This is an outrageous attempt to orchestrate media pressure. Go to hell.”

Like the advancing Germans the newspapers know they had only a limited time to win their war before events overwhelmed them. Like general McAuliffe time and events will prove this newspaper right,
