I don't know who Mr. Marks is, but his poem kinda says it all. And if by chance any members of our "elite" media are reading this thread, I hope they're hanging their heads in shame.

Incredible poem by Michael Marks. God Bless them, the Heros. Everyday, I so wish for them to know, what is in our hearts, how grateful we are for their sacrifices and what they go through for us, for their gift of protection and freedom for us all.

That is absolutely beautiful. And expresses the message far better than I could.
These things need saying and this guy nailed it.
Awesome. It brought a tear to the eye.

Awesome. It brought a tear to the eye. Yes, I often make women cry. Usually all I have to do is enter the room!

"Just tell the truth of what you see, without the slant or spin; that most of us are OK and we're coming home again. And why not tell our folks back home about the good we've done, how when they see Americans, the kids come at a run."
You mean spread propaganda!
Propaganda to the MSM=writeing something that helps George Bush

The NY Times was even more indignant.
What specifically are you asking Newsweek to doo? Time reporter Elisabeth Bumiller demanded of McCellan. Are you asking themto write a story about how great the American military is? Is that what you're saying?
