Houston Chronicle's Shameless Use of Dead Soldier to Further Anti-Bush Agenda
The Patriot Edition ^ | April 16, 2004 | Billy Kess

Some of you might have already saw this - if you watched O'Reilly last night, I know you did. Just in case you didn't see it, and just in case you didn't know that there was bias in the media. (if you didn't know that by now, get out of the cave!)

In yet another of the endless examples of poor journalism and media bias, a recent interview with a family member of a U.S. soldier, Leroy Sandoval, who was killed in Fallujah shamelessly used the young man’s death to further the liberal agenda within the media. These are the things that liberals online will never acknowledge, of course.

The family made it clear that he and his family were not going to get involved with any political debates for the interview, and that they strictly wanted to honor Leroy, but, after the interview with Leroy’s stepfather, Steve Walters, the writer Lucas Wall, just couldn’t resist tossing in his own personal partisan paragraph:

Walters said his family did not want to discuss their sentiments about the war or the political debate surrounding President Bush's failure to find weapons of mass destruction, one of the prime reasons cited for invading Iraq last year.

MY GOD – talk about shameless! Talk about blatant media bias at its worst! And, of course, no outrage by these liberals who claim to care about the lives of America’s brave ones. Apparently, their hatred for Bush is stronger than the principles that they claim to possess.

See it for yourself
