<p><b><em>NY Times </em>photo caption suggested only pro-war demonstrators
support the troops </b></p>
<p><a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200705290007?src=item200705290007">http://mediamatters.org/items/200705290007</a></p>

<p>A photograph appearing in the May 28
edition of <i>The New York Times</i> depicted
a pro-Iraq war demonstrator standing across from a group of anti-Iraq war
protestors in Lewes, Delaware. The caption read, "Jeffery
Broderick, foreground, standing alone last week in support of United States
troops as demonstrators for peace occupy an opposite corner" -- asserting
in essence that Broderick, and Broderick alone, demonstrated in support of the
troops while implying that those protesting the war did not. </p>

<p>The photograph, which accompanied a May
28 <i>Times</i> article headlined "<a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200705290007&http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/28/us/28vigil.html">Silence Speaks Volumes
at Intersection of Views on Iraq War</a>": </p>

As <i>Media
Matters for America</i> has repeatedly documented (<a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200705170010?src=item200705290007">here</a>, <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200701290005?src=item200705290007">here</a>, <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200702270013?src=item200705290007">here</a>, and <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200608130001?src=item200705290007">here</a>), various media outlets have suggested
that opposition to the Iraq
war and support for U.S.
troops are mutually exclusive positions. The implication that those who oppose
the war do not
support the troops was repeatedly <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200606300009#20060813?src=item200705290007">recycled</a> by the media in 2006, when
anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and Beverly Young, wife of Rep. Bill Young
(R-FL), were ejected from the 2006 State of the Union address for wearing Iraq-war
themed T-shirts, and in 2005, when news outlets <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200511210007?src=item200705290007">labeled</a> Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA)
"pro-military," suggesting most Democrats are not.</p><table width="100%" style="background: #e8e8e8;
