Yet, maybe many people are seeing the lying media for what it is and quietly making their voices known at the polls.

I certainly hope so. I always knew the media was twisting and distoring the news to their agenda, but when I came over here and saw how things really were in Iraq and then saw how they reported it, it just blew my mind.

I've seen occasions where the soldiers have gotten so mad seeing those lies on CNN in the chow halls that they've demanded en masse that "this crap" be turned off.

And I've had Iraqis ask me why the American media only shows the "dark things" and never the good. I've had to explain to them about the corruption and being newly liberated, they can't really grasp why anyone would be so vitriolic and against freedom.

"And I've had Iraqis ask me why the American media only shows the "dark things" and never the good."
I've heard it said a million times that the MSM is trying to undermine the war effort and I didn't want to believe that, I do now!

I now see the media is once again stuck on Gitmo. Scant coverage on what is now happening in Iraq. Also heard Shep Smith report last night the document they found in Iraq saying the Americans are winning could possibly be a fake. It makes you want to go ballistic, hearing this crap.

Speaking of Gitmo, maybe you can help me out. People are saying the detainees down there should not be POWs because that would give them extra rights. What rights are they talking about? As POWs, they would not be tried and they would be kept for the duration of the war. Where am I wrong on this?
