Real reporting from those involved.

I wonder if NBCCBSABC is listening?

[Laverne]

Listening perhaps...and then ignoring. Old media, like their masters the DNC, could care less about out troops.

Add Fox to that news list......one more gutter network in a long line of gutter huggers.

just sent to FOX news to determine how "fair and balanced" they really are. I suspect they have claimed their space in the gutter as have the other networks.

The article I posted in post 5 is actually originally from FoxNews,I just posted the link to the FR link.

I believe that it would have been totally irresponsible for us NOT to prepare some ideas, facts or comments that we wanted to share with the President.

Something I'm sure the White House press corp is unfamiliar with....

Sgt. Ron Long - please know this - that my husband and I believe you completely and trust you completely. As far as the main stream media is concerned, we believe they are communists and God only knows what else. We no longer listen to them nor read them. And we honor you, love you, support you and pray for you always.

once again the blogs prove that they are far more informative and investigative than the MSM. exactly how difficult would it have been for any of these networks, with their billion dollar budgets, to find any of the soldiers and ask THEM what it took LGF probably 30 minutes to take care of?

Why the 'propaganda' smear that the troll said in the other thread is important.

[Keith in Iowa]

Dirty little secret the media does not want you to know: What was seen is SOP for media. Producers of events like this always go over what's going to happen in the event itself...they work out mechanics, and give tips to interview subjects to make things smooth on-air. They even go so far as to talk about possible questions that might get asked.

What's staged is the Lib-wanker media's reaction to this.

[GOPRaleigh]

Amen.

[PatriotGirl827]

Excellent piece! Our men and women in uniform are the best. Our MSM.....well, that's another story. Traitors.

Below is a link to Sgt. Long's blog if you are interested. It doesn't appear that you can post comments, but he has some interesting stories and pics.

Your right there. Fox news has been leaning toward the negative spin lately and when they stage an interview with a Republican and a Democrat (conservative or liberal) the Democrat get more than their share of the time. And the big "O", he is as uninformed as ever and is a sure nut case.

Beat to Quarters!

Sound Assembly!

Pipe to All-Hands!

Hit the Alert Siren!

Sgt. Long ... Thanks for your service, and the one two punch black eye on the MSM.

Once again those that care to know the truth dig a little deeper to find it!

Thanks for the find Frankjr

What hypocrites the MSM. Because they saw these soldiers preparing for their meeting with the POUS, it was staged. But when the get caught with their reporter in a canoe in 3 inches of water they laugh it off. Whose deceiving who MSM?AWB

[GVnana]

The MSM are ignorant fools especially when it comes to the military. Since when is a planned event in the military not "staged"?

They wouldn't be satisfied unless these soldiers were acting out like 5th graders.
