The socialist/leftist media are playing the same game they played after Tet in 1968. Tet was, by most accounts, a last ditch effort by N. Vietnam to unseat US positions. It failed, and left the north in a weakened and vulnerable position. Unfortunately, rather than use military logic at this point, we went with media opinion and did not respond. We could have wiped them out in 6 months if Rumsfield would have been in charge.
Fortunately for the US, we now have the internet and are able to bypass the leftist media. They are becoming insignificant, particularly when it comes to trying to sway public opinion. As well, Fox is out there and is, for the most part, reporting the news rather than trying to invent it. Say what you might about Rupert Murdoch, but he found a market for a less-leftist media outlet and gave us Fox.
I agree. The press didn't count on the Vietnam veterans - who are now free to speak, and teach...and do.
What do these reporters think we'll do when we discover the press has been lying to us? Applaud? Like most Americans, I bought the press lies. Never again. Hillary might believe "the end justifies the means", but that's never going to sell in mainstream America during wartime.
