Glenn Reynolds thinks Brian Williams and Brit Hume are like Tokyo Rose.

Yet another "stab in the back":

...the Japanese psychological warfare effort during World War II included radio broadcasts that could be picked up by American troops. Popular music was played, but the commentary (by one of several English speaking Japanese women) always hammered away on the same points;

1 Your President (Franklin D Roosevelt) is lying to you.
2 This war is illegal.
3 You cannot win the war.

The troops are perplexed and somewhat amused that their own media is now sending out this message.

I've never heard Fox or NBC call Bush a liar or assert that the war is illegal. On the other hand, I did see William F. Buckley claim the war is lost -- so maybe that's what they're talking about.
