The Military friendly Media
We recently had representatives from NBC here with us on FOB Warrior. They came through and told everyone how they appreciate our sacrifices and they want us to be safe. Then come the questions.
Do you feel forgotten because of the war in Iraq?
If we do, it because of bastards like you who are more concerned with trying to embarass the current administration by distorting the news from Iraq to influence the public against the prosecution of the war.
Do you feel justified in the prosecution of the War on Terror?
Yes, but I imagine by the time my quote makes it to the news, it will be chopped up so I say what you want me to.
The main stream media and the liberals love to say how they support the troops but are against the illegal wars of the administration. Then they sit there and wait for any mistake wether actually a mistake or not and prosecute and crucify the Soldier or Marine in the court of public opinion. They hope we do something they can construe as being wrong and say how bad the military is. They pray that public opinion goes back to the 70s model so they can call us baby killers in the media and get away with it. Fortunately for us on the ground, if they did go that far, the American public would do the crucifying.
I will never let the media go anywhere with my soldiers. The media loathes the military and would love a socialist state. That is of course until they got their wish and there was real crack downs on free speech. Then again the current media would not know free speech if it hit them in the face since they fire or yell down any dissension to the party line. They make up "evidence" against any conservative. NBC, CBS, ABC, and most of all CNN, can not tolerate any conservative voices. If they coud avoid it, they would not tolerate he military. Unfortunately the public not recognizes how wrong they were in the 70s and we shall not see a repeat of that behavior except for the far fringe left.
That is my rant for the day. I said they were non sensical ramblings.

Fabulous - if you can vent to your blog...does that mean that I don't have to listen to it?
Love you - MUAH
Nope. I am sure to rant to you as well. I have plenty to rant about. It won't all fit in a blog format.
I can't WAIT until you're home, Rob...can't WAIT!!!
As for the media - precisely the reason I don't watch the news.
