IMHO I think this fits in well with your thread as a reminder of just what the media is.

FROM: Giap’s Memoirs (Gen. Giap was a very famous and knowledgeable General in the North Vietnamese Army.)

General Vo Nguyen Giap.

General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military. The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi:

“What we still don’t understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media w as de finitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!”

General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The Vietnam war was not lost in Vietnam — it was lost at home. The exact same slippery slope, sponsored by the US media, is currently well underway. It exposes the enormous power of a biased media to cut out the heart and will of the American public.

A truism worthy of note: Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life. Fear the media far more, for they will destroy your honor.

It seems the same thing is happening with the battle for Iraq.

Now ask yourself these two questions: “Why does the mainstream Print and TV Media never print statistics like these?” and “Why do the mainstream media hate the web as much as they do?”

The news media in general has a liberal agenda, and what they print is the means to an end, ie, a more liberal government.
I would guess that the media would hate any source of news that differs from their biased opinions.

“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.”

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.”

Do you happen to know how many people were in the military each of those years?

Without that number, the number of deaths can provide no relevant statistical data.
