If this kind of "news reporting" is not treason, or at least sedition, will someone explain exactly what it is? Consider: "the armless, legless body of a blonde woman, her throat slashed and her entrails cut out." This sounds as if we were dealing with a bunch of serial killers, so savage and heinous is it. Anyone for praising SK's?
Yet, the mainstream newsmedia in the USA mostly ignores this horror and focuses on the "brutality" of American soldiers. In WWII, the authorities would have shut these reporters down and thrown them in prison for this kind of gross bias! Think about it. They are consorting with enemies and their twisted, psychotic version of things!
These "reporters" are betraying their own country! They obviously care absolutely nothing for ordinary Americans. They only care about their own incrowd of RDDB's. They are willing to let us get out throats cut rather than tell the simple truth! Their twisted way of thinking will get us all killed. I've never seen anything like it.
These "news people" are abusing their Constitutional rights, yelling "fire" in a crowd, panicking the people, spreading false information, undermining the war effort, and confusing the American people about the most important war that this country has ever been plunged into.
Can this war be won with these Copperheads stabbing us in the back? I really question our ability to do this. The "embedded" reporters should be taken away from the battlefields so the soldiers can do their thankless jobs.
Think what's at stake here. This is not a game. The fate of civilization is at stake. Does anybody know or care what civilization is? Take a look at some photos of a landscape after a nuclear explosion. Make a list of all the thinks which are gone. That would be a long list, indeed. People, art, architecture, libraries, museums; literacy, poetry, painting, and sculpture. But one last thing, don't forget to count yourself and your loved ones and the "embedded reporters."
Explain please, for those us that don't know what that is
They can all go straight to hell!!
Spot on!
I agree about the 'drift' - with all the leftist channels, I'd rather have them be 'right,' and not 'fair and balanced.'
excellent article.
Oh, I know they were repealed...that's why I dated them.
Seems to me there's something in the current US Code, though. I guess I need to go looking...
My mistake.
The Alien and Sedition Acts were passed in the infancy of this country, from 1798 - 1800. Link: http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/alsedact.htm
The Alien Act stated:
"SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That whenever there shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion shall be perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States, by any foreign nation or government, and the President of the United States shall make public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being males of the age of fourteen years and upwards, who shall be within the United States, and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed, as alien enemies."
The rest of the Acts followed along those lines. They have since been repealed.

The Media, has been against AMERICA since the mid sixties during the Viet Nam war. They did not give us honest coverage during Viet Nam and have workded to sabotage this nation ever since.
There will never again be a "combat" correspondent like Ernie Pyle, nor will there ever be a correspondent that the "troops" will ever fully trust.
