Not too long ago I referred to a Saturday Night Live skit from 1991, in which the press asked questions of military leaders whose answers would obviously damage our operation and risk the lives of our soldiers.
Back then, it was funny.... but remember, humor only works when there is an element of truth.
Nowadays the truth remains and the humor is long gone.
I was reading BlackFive's blog this morning and noted a verbatim script from that long ago sketch, and you'll note as I did that the exact wording is even more devastating to the press than I had remembered.
Because this is almost exactly how they act these days.
