("What if" in History - No. 3) June 1, 1944: NEW YORK TIMES breaks OPERATION OVERLORD

Goebbels would have played them like a fiddle.

Someone IS playing them like a fiddle today!

I disagree.

Today, the American liberal news media, just as Goebbels used to be, are the fiddlers and not the fiddle.

I see your point of view. I have wondered, though, how things get coordinated so well- with all of these high strung fiddlers, don't you ever wonder who the conductor is?

You don't need a conductor. You just need to show up at the fiddle festival to play with other fiddlers who share the same goal.

The goal of both is to defeat the American war effort. The terrorists play their fiddle by planting IED's and murdering civilians and the liberal news media plays their fiddle by acting as their force multipliers by portrayinmg the war effort to the American Home Front in the worst possible light.

It's an extremely easy tune to follow.

Terrorist atrocity: Ignore.

Misconduct by American forces: Equivalent to Nazi Germany.

Total defeat of the Iraqi Army: Yawn.

Almost ten times less American deaths in the entire Iraq War than American deaths in the Battle of the Bulge alone: Military catastrophe.

You can follow that tune with a kazoo.

Although TIMES editors held a meeting to discuss whether this information should be reported, it was decided unanimously that it is news and our first obligation is to journalism and reporting the story. We do hope, of course, that Allied casualties are kept to a minimum.

All very realistic except for the last paragraph. There would have been no meeting, and certainly no wish that Allied casualties were kept to a minimum.

Actually-- This is a RE-post--as I mentioned.

I managed to find it from the other FREEPER who had the smarts to put it up!

I PM'ed him--to tell him/her-that I think it should be Re-posted--and IF I didn't hear from them--I'd do it and give them the credit--so I eneded up posting it - with my name-by their name on the credit posting..

But know what now too??

Look at what's happened with HADITHA!!

Quite the OPPOSITE!!--NO Media or Talking Head is speaking in SUPPORT for " Pre-Judging " ( Hanging ) the Marines BEFORE ANY REAL INFO is found out!!

So---just like the Dan Rather " Bush MILITARY RECORDS " that were supposedly LEAKED--that WEREN'T true!!
THAT they said SHOULD be " Published " ..just in CASE!!Cause the PUBLIC has the " Right to know"!

...and that everyone should NOT jump on RATHER just because he jumped the gun on this!!

Buuuuuuuutttttttt...we SHOULDN'T Jump the GUN on McKiney! Right!--she's INNOCENT until we hear HER side!!

and....like Harry Reid's Sporting Free-bee Tickets!!--we shouldn't jump down on Him and say he's GUILTY of ANYTHING UNTIL all the FACTS are in!!

And....what's his name with the 100,000$$ in his FREEZER!!! Nope!! can't CONVICT HIM in a COURT OF PUBLICITY and " In the MEDIA!!!" - as THEY like to say when Caught!!

But the HADITHA CASE?? and the MARINES???- all GUILTY!!!
Guilty!! Guilty!! Guilty!!!

But the SLIMES "Leaking" facts to our enemies--like the way our Secret Agencies operate--THAT is open game!!

So..I thought that this Satire ws very fitting!!

Liberals: always the hypocrites!!
