America's liberal-dominated media are doing their best to ignore a story of a leftist official snubbing the Marines. When the haters go too far in their anti-militarism, The Cause is damaged. MoveOn.org may have reaped a lot of donations from its famous ad, but widespread pubic revulsion and the irregularities in the ad's handling by the New York Times have caused no end of...
In the wake of the MoveOn dust-up came another example of serious disrespect for the brave warriors who protect our freedoms: denial of a permit for the Marines to film on a city street in San Francisco. A team of Marines has been traveling the country, filming drill maneuvers in iconic places like Times Square. But San Francisco's Film Commission turned down their application for use of a city street on the day the team was in town.
The story has plenty of visual possibilities: connections to Hollywood celebrities, United States Marines in drill formation, and San Francisco playing its typecast role as a scenic citadel of crazy leftism. The official involved has a story that doesn't stand up to close scrutiny. Yet despite initial coverage in three major media outlets -- the San Francisco ABC television station (owned and operated by the network itself), USA Today, and Fox News -- no other major media outlets have picked up the story. Mark Carney of USA Today has followed up and been given a runaround.
When conservative embarrassments make their way into public notice, others rush in to amplify the damage. But the media are not anxious for this story to have any legs at all. Bias reveals itself in the stories that are not covered, as much as in stories that run.
That's too bad, because this story turns out to have some quite interesting connections.

Homosexuals are the San Fransicko left and they hate the marines because they are denied access to showering with marines.
Strange - I thought everyone in San Francisco loves a tanned, tough, muscular, young man in a uniform.
Thank you, thank you.....
Thanks for the ‘contact form attachment’....The coyote just got a ration of s#$% from me.
Rifles, not guns and yes, there is a difference.
Rifles, not guns .... Ahem! If you want to get technical -- pieces, maybe?
You’re thinking of the Village People, not the U.S military.
I will be sending the correction to them too.
Thanks for the link. Great stuff.
Lets use San Francisco as a trainning groung for urban warfare.
