Gray Lady in winter

A recurring theme in this column is the relationship between the blogosphere and the mainstream media, one that could be politely described as "strained." To put a finer point on it, many bloggers accuse the mainstream media of undermining morale at home and in the ranks, divulging classified information that could be used by America's enemies, and ignoring military operations while reporting individual deaths in an unwelcome rebirth of the "death count" metric of the Vietnam War. A major focus of this criticism is The New York Times, which, despite its reputation as the newspaper of record, has offended a broad swath of the military.
