Today CSPAN decided: a) not to cover the Gathering of Eagles rally, and b) to cover the Workers World Party's rally against America.
With this deplorable decision, CSPAN has spit on the American military veteran. How can CSPAN make such a blatantly biased decision? Will they defend their decision, saying that "our" rally doesn't have any celebrities like Gold Star mother, Cindy Sheehan?
What about the Gold Star mothers on our side who will be speaking? They may not have the name recognition that Cindy Sheehan has, but CSPAN viewers have a right (and an expectation) that their voices should carry equal weight. Their sacrifice is equally great, and equally as heartbreaking.
And what about the military veterans who support our troops and our country? Doesn't their voice also deserve to be heard tomorrow?
Every one of us who pays for cable television service pays to fund CSPAN's "balanced" public interest coverage, and our voices are just as relevant and just as deserving to be heard as those on the radical left who despise our country and our troops.
Our Vietnam veterans were spit on forty years ago. Today, CSPAN is spitting on all of our veterans by giving coverage to the Workers World Party/International ANSWER rally and ignoring the opposing point of view.
If you are as angry as I am right now, I have a project for you...
Tomorrow (Saturday - March 17th) give Washington Journal a call. Whatever Washington Journal says that they are taking phone calls to discuss, tell their call screener that's what you want to discuss...
And when you get on, give them all the righteous grief you can, on-air, about how they are covering a bunch of communists and commie sympathizers and kicking our troops in the balls.
Call in on whatever line you can get in on; talk nice to the screener, lie to them about what you want to talk about, and when you get in to the host - slam the bejeezus out of them!
So what if this is "dishonest," this is a war and they are siding with our enemy!

Prayers for you and yours...I am very sorry to hear about your son.
You deserve to be the STAR on tomorrow's programming, not the pinko surrender monkeys.
God Bless you...

My son is in no tv (other than Christian Channel/Catholic EWTN)
for Lent.
However he is BIG on Road TO The Whitehouse come Prez elect time.
How has Road to the Whitehouse been on coverage thus far this last month?
Curious.
Boy Alan Keyes thought it was bad on the media blackout when he ran the two times I don't even want to think of how it is going to be for the Moderate Middle Pubs.
Grrrr! BTTT!
Prayers lifted up for this time of grieving.
May God rest your sons soul.
BTTT and God speed to all.
You know what would be really helpful?
Someone write a quick summary to the point of what we should say so we don't trip up.
Esp. those who are not use to doing a call in freep.
Clear, Consice, Short and to the point would be a big help.
Thank you onyx....good night.
