Aw...yes.
I have to admit, that except for my local news cast (weather)...I NEVER even think of those networks.
BUT, you are very right...because they should be showing this stuff while we are at war..Petraeus being here and doing that press conference is at least as important at Rosie on the View, doncha think?
The public was supportive of our efforts when the networks showed Rummy’s pressers daily, because they were informed of FACTS, because he answered hard questions, because he was allowed to explain things in context, explain goals, setbacks, battle victories and battle losses, mistakes, failures, successes and strategy decisions. He explained Iraqis, their country, their tribes, their fears, their wants, ect.
This effort by the big networks to cut Americans out of information is deliberate, I am sure of it.
