Freepers know the real deal. We aren't swayed by the MSM and frankly I doubt many people are.

We ought not assume that the country is buying into anything coming from the left.

We're here supporting our military, our leaders, and praying constantly for the safety of our troops and their families.

Don't let the MSM get away with suggesting that the american people support their views.

Agree with the anger and its cause. MSM is unrepentant.

Prayers for the wounded heroine, and all the wounded, and all those fighting for us.

> right now Im so mad I could scream....we have heroes like this injured or killed everyday, but our MSM is more concerned about a terrorist that a Marine shot...

This morning, radio news (NPR Morning Edition?) reported that two Marines were killed in Fallujah because they were being careful pursuing enemy forces that had invaded the house of a civilian family. The devils took advantage of the Marines' deference.

A great story of sacrifice in order to preserve Iraqi civilian life. Would make an impact perhaps if aired in Baghdad, Beirut, Cairo.

Yet, this story is not getting air time. What gets publicity is a case of a Marine losing it and killing a devil who had been wounded firing at them from the mosque.

This is a choice the MSM consciously makes. They are responsible. Al Jazeera, I can understand why they make that choice. They have the Marine-killer as main front page story on their web site, but not until this afternoon did they put up just a side-story on the killing of CARE administrator Hasan, a woman, a non-combatant, in fact an aid worker -- when it was AlJazeera that first the tape showing her murder. Every other news outlet was reporting on it before A-J even acknowledged the story. Even then, watch their disclaimer:

"Some armed groups have used the tactic to try to force US-led troops and foreigners to leave Iraq. However many abductions have been attributed to criminal gangs taking advantage of lawlessness in the troubled country. "

What would a "criminal" enterprise benefit from capturing and executing an aid worker?

So, that's what we expect from A-J. But U.S. MSM ... ? Sadly, we have come to expect the same from them.

It's hard not to think about that when you see and hear of the sacrifices these fine people are making for us and for all eternity.
