If the press "cared" about the Iraqi people, they wouldn't attack their liberators daily [rant]

I won't make any excuses for the leftist, America-hating swine. They are the enemies of peace and democracy.

Look here for the New York Times contribution:

To expect the media to do it's job and report objectively accepts media propaganda regarding what it's mission is. Reporting and objectivity are not the concern of the media, following the instructions of the lefwing masters is. Today that is hating Bush and America.

Journalism's business is not your "right to know" but your entertainment.

It's not necessary to assume that journalists take marching orders from leftists; the more sensible assumption IMHO is that leftists simply sail down the propaganda wind which is the natural result of the rules of commercially successful free journalism.

Big Bump to your rant, RC!

Thanks, windchime. I feel like I dumped mud on FR with this post, and dragged others into a 'quagmire', lol.

As an antedote (and in case anyone from the mainstream press stumbles onto this post), one more time for our best and brightest:

Y A note of thanks to those who serve

[windchime]

"....we want the world to know that Nadan was a naturalized US citizen, a veteran of the US Navy, and a courageous Assyrian Christian who answered the military call to go to Iraq as a translator."


Thank you for sharing the story of the loss of Nadan Yonadam while he was serving the US and the people of Iraq. I pray that his family and friends are comforted in knowing that his efforts and sacrifice contributed to freedom for the Iraqi people.

Don't think of it as mud.....think of it as insta-pudding.:) Makes a much tastier 'quagmire'. 

I liked and agreed with your rant.  Usually, I just yell stuff at the TV that would get me banned (and embarrassed) here on FR.

Not news. Simply a place to comment on the press treatment of the troops and the war effort.

In general....DISGUSTING! They dwell on the negative and ignore the positive.

Thankfully, the positive can be found here at FR......and sent out in mass e-mails. :-)

Amen, radu. Thank you for spreading the word!

[JohnHuang2]

Amen. Keep up the great work, my friend :-)

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you for the kind words, John. We're an army of more than one.

You have impeccable timing. ((Hugs))
