After First going back to Research topics about "D-Day" I came across this Post by Doug from Upland--and thought that this TOO deserves a spot on today's posts--

Considering that as Conservatives ; and those who are appointed with the tasks of ; educationing, speading the Truth of the News, and awakening John Q Public to the Threats Faced against this Nation that come from WITHIN- that This POST should be re-posted as reminder too--that:

Danger doesn't always come from WITHOUT!


God Bless!...

Those who Fought!...

on D-DAY!!

No doubt CNN would be on the beach interviewing German soldiers about the imminent invasion.

Good post. It would have been devastating then....just as it is now. I will never understand why leaking of vital information is allowed.

It borders on treason!!

A few years later news reporters were asked not to use the words actinide, uranium, plutonium, atomic, thorium, and a host of similar topics, to cover leaks from Manhattan Engineering District.

They all complied.

Reporters were allowed to witness Trinity and asked not to report until after the first few weeks of August- the reporters remained silent until allowed to speak.

All before Edward R Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, et cetera redefined the role of the press and redefined the words "patriot", "duty", "dissent", and without explicitly stating it, "honor".

I firmly believe that the communists have worked behind the scenes long enough in universities (especially "J" school) to create a media environment which allows them to defeat us using only the power of press (MSM).

The way the media behaves today boggles the mind. It is one thing to be independent and challenge the government on domestic issues but when it comes to a war these same tactics place every American, military and civilian, in extreme danger. Again IMO, only a communist indoctrinated media could behave in this manner during a time of war and TREASON is the proper word and should be punished accordingly.

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.
