Anti-War Bias In Media Helps U.S. Enemies

I realize most conservatives already know this, but now there’s a study by two Harvard University economists that confirms it. And the worst part is, the anti-war reporting helps by inspiring more attacks on U.S. troops:

“It shows that the various insurgent groups do respond to incentives and shows that a successful counter insurgency strategy should take that reality into account,” Jonathan Monten, a co-author of the study and a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, told US News and World Report.

Insurgent attacks increased between 7 and 10 percent immediately after a spike in “antiresolve” statements in the media, according to the findings.
