Conflicting opinions about General Flynn

Michael Flynn has been appointed National Security Advisor by President-Elect Trump and the establishment is in a tizzy.  Flynn seems to be guilty of speaking truth about Muslims, which is not allowed in the Obama administration or his military.

You can have some fun and watch the news being biased by reading two disparate articles: one in the Wall Street Journal and one in the New York Times.  Unless you have a subscription to the WSJ, you can't read it, but you can bypass the pay wall by pasting the headline into Google and clicking on the link to the WSJ article. The article discusses the controversies in what seems to be accurate reporting.

On the other hand, the NYT describes the choice as a calamity. Starting with the headline:
"Michael Flynn: An Alarming Pick for National Security Adviser"
Biased reporting in action. Fortunately for the Trump administration and everyone who wants to be safe from radical Islam, the position does not require Congressional approval.
