Welcome to the only thing sleazier than overbilling lawyers, overprescribing doctors shilling for pharamaceutical companies, greedy coporate executives, and used car salesmen: the American Journalist. Flawed and crooked and self-centered as the rest of us, but riding around on a high horse, pointing out everyone else's sins, but ignoring their own. This is the last great industry-wide scandal left uncovered in America. Because of course, they'd have to cover it themselves. And none of them have the bravery to take their own inventory, to list their own pathologically self-centered faults. They'd rather just go after yours. mine and those who disagree with them politically. (Pat Dollard)

I am speechless. The journalists are lazy fat slobs who don't bother finding out the the truth. If I wasn't a regular Freeper I wouldn't even know.

Thank heavens I just woke up instead of getting ready for bed..Started reading and decided I need fresh coffee to continue.

The odds of a journalist just happening to be at a street corner where insurgents launch a 5 minute small arms and rpg attack on the Government Center, are astronomical to the point of impossibility - there is nowhere to safely "just hang out there", to "just happen to be there" for such a brief, lightning attack. The only way to be there, filming, (and much footage of attacks against the Government Center from these two Michigan cross-streets, Central and Cinema, both of which are right next to each other, has been supplied to the American Media by "stringers" in league with insurgents) at such a precise time, is to know the attack is coming:
Of course.

This guy lays out the real spirit of 666, the image of the beast, the false prophet, the heart of the wicked, better than just about any preacher I have ever heard. He is looking directly into the belly of the beast, and clearly understands its only purpose is chaos, death and destruction.

Who said there are no more heros in Hollywood. I know of at least one, and his name is Patrick Dollard.

This is a great portrayal of war. It is the kind of thing my husband, finally, discusses with me after leaving Vietnam nearly 40 years ago (for the last time). The description of the scene at the glass factory, after the suicide bomber, is both chilling and haunting. He draws a compelling word picture.

Mr. Dollard is correct, we, in our safe, comfy homes, will never, in our worst nightmares, be able to imagine such a scene. I am so pleased that Mr. Dollard is not afraid to NAME the complicitious media that victimize our military as they fight this war to protect us.

I, too, find it absolutely incomprehensible that our young military people should view American "reporters" as being on "the other side". This problem is one only we, sitting here in safety and comfort, can solve. WE are the ones who must hold these traitorous scumbags responsible for their false, manufactured stories.

Screw Christiane.

Bump for later

BUMP!!!

[IrishRainy]

I got that whole "anti-Christ" feeling while I was reading about the glass factory massacre. It was suddenly crystal clear to me who or what we are facing here.

And he's right - it IS WWIII.

As far as the media, it's definitely time to take some names and kick some a**!

Found on Pookie's thread

[IrishRainy]

I DESPISE the media with every ounce of my being!

[philled]

This is probably the most important thing I've seen on FR (or, anywhere) related to Iraq and the GWOT. Thank you for posting this- it should be required reading. I am stunned by the lack of comments.

[Publius6961]

BUMP!

I managed to miss this the first time it was posted back in April

[PleaDeal]

Thanks for posting this! Pat Dollard is the real deal and has many friends in the Corps. I first heard of him thru WO Mike Fay's blog Fire and Ice and when a devildog praises a journalist's testicular fortitude, you just know he's someone to trust.

Truth bump!

Ping

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Thank you for the ping!

[Irish Eyes]

WOW.. Thank you so much for posting this. I have now seen this thread for the first time and have it bookmarked. This is probably the best I have ever seen on Free Republic and that is saying a great deal.

I found this through a link you provided on another thread and only because I did a search for Iraq.

THIS IS A MUST READ !!
