Out of hate for George Bush, the liberal media wants us to lose this war so they can say that Bush was the wrong man for the job. They hate their own president more than they hate Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein. The liberal media did the same thing during the Viet Nam war. They turned the country against Nixon and made it Nixons' war, which it really wasn't (he inherited it). I dont blame the troops for not trusting the liberal media since they are actively rooting for the enemy.

BUMP!

You are correct.

Over 70 percent of Americans do not trust the media either.

That is why their paid circulation numbers are way down and there are mass layoff across the country at most newspaper, tv, media outlets.

Their stock prices are way down, too.

[Roscoe Karns]

The troops cannot understand why that is not news, and why journalists always seem to be looking for a negative angle.

IMO, it simply boils down to one thing. An irrational burning, visceral hatred for George W Bush.

[george76]

Yes, they can not believe that Bush was re-elected with even better numbers.

This elite also hates most other Americans, Christmas, Santa Claus, God, ...

That is why their paid circulation numbers are way down and there are mass layoff across the country at most newspaper, tv, media outlets.

Just remember, when these creeps lose their jobs, they're going to apply for something else, and they're STILL going to be anti-American subversives. Keep your eyes peeled and don't let them get entrenched in a job near you.

It's liberals that go to journalism schools.
No way will they shed their roots, regardless of consumers, or in their case reader preferences.
Besides they're bad with numbers therefore readership or advertising revenue don't matter.

[gman992]

As for journalism school, I think that if you have to pay $20,000 a year to learn who, what, when, where, and why, you are not getting your money's worth.

Agreed. And why do they hate him?

1. It's all they've got.

2. By comparison, GWB shows up Clinton, the liberal icon, to be the worthless failure of a POTUS in every way that he was. RATS do not like that.

3. This may be the most important -- a successful Bush presidency will keep the liberals OUT OF POWER for the forseeable future. That terrifies them.

Maybe America will finally be free when the soldiers start to kill the journalists.

[hsalaw]

This is a good reason why we've got to stay in touch with the troops - letters, e-mails, cards to Walter Reed, etc - and let them know we support them AND their mission, honor their courage and sacrifice, and thank them (and their predecessors) every day for our freedoms. "If you can read this, thank a teacher; if you can read it in English, thank a soldier."

[george76]

Why did the Muslim cross the road?

To do a suicide bombing on the other side.

[Grampa Dave]

Right on George. The stocks of the major fish wraps have taken a pounding due to their lies and war on GW. They have created a quagmire of lower circulations and ad $'s which creates a really big quagmire of dropping stock prices.

The real poll on the lying news papers is the fall of their stock in the last year.

NYT = NY Slimes, WPO = Washington Post, TRB = Chicago Tribune and LA Slimes.

Out of hate for George Bush, the liberal media wants us to lose this war so they can say that Bush was the wrong man for the job...

Out of hatred for George Bush the liberal media convinced Al Qaida that George Bush was a weak leader and that America was a disunited country. The liberal media caused this war in the first place and they are determined to see that America looses it.

"Media" takes various forms, including movies. You might like a read of Oliver North's Veterans Day article Hollywood: rotten to the Corps.
