“Like many journalists today, they avoided reporting on American military
heroism in the belief that reports of American valor would increase support
for the war in the United States and would put servicemen in a more
favorable light than those who did not serve.”
Here’s a bit of antidote for that sort of agenda-driven reportage.
I can only think that the slanted reporting by guys like Halberstam and
the agendas of his fellow-travelers in Hollyweird is why the names of
guys like “Bud Day” aren’t household names.
(Fair Warning...don’t get “American Patriot” until you a free day.
Once started, it’s hard to put down.)
American Patriot: The Life and Wars of Colonel Bud Day
by Robert Coram
Alas, Pat Tillman will always be a hero to the MSM. He was killed by friendly fire.
