The one constant I see from American in/home from Iraq, is being *pissed* *off* at the reporting of the L/MSM.
Yes, that would be correct.
I was in another country some years ago and had a number of journo friends. Their reporting was politically slanted but I let it slide, until we had a series of confrontational events which gained global attention.
Suddenly the stories went from merely slanted to outright exaggeration, deliberate misreporting, and ... yes ... outright lying.
I pretty much stopped hanging out with them after that.
