Did anyone read this in any media reports..
"Most Americans realize that today marks the one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death at the hands of courageous Navy SEALs. Yet many of the same citizens, conditioned by a national media that pays scant attention to the military's daily sacrifices, probably don't realize that 2012's bloodiest month of fighting in Afghanistan has just concluded."
The Unknown Soldiers: More Than One Day I would be curious if you could supply a link to where you may have read this piece of information "During the year Osama bin Laden was killed, the war in Afghanistan made up just two percent of American news media coverage, according to the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. If you add in coverage of bin Laden's death in Pakistan, the number is four percent. Based on the media's behavior so far this year, I would not be surprised if the death of Whitney Houston wound up generating just as much news coverage as the Afghanistan conflict in 2012." |

Today also marks the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of the "special investigators" that The Donald sent to hawaii to get to the bottom of the birth certificate issue.
They have not been heard from since. Nothing in the news about their familes missing them, or nothing. Can't even find out their names. It's a mystery - ranks right up there with the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. |

Bucco: I stopped, and would also recommend, that you not acknowledge these type of posts. There appears to be two or three of members on the political forum whom based on the repeated single minded and childish tenor of their responses are getting their educational information from comic books.

I DO KNOW you are correct, but I started this thread because I think the media does a lousy job and young men are dying and the media lies by omission. THANK YOU.....It also makes me feel better to know that you and I suppose others realize how these few simply demean and make this board a playground. Sad thing is that these same few are not able to really discuss anything....so you are correct.... THanks will take your advice !! |

No one in this country with the acception of the military families and us old vets give a damn about any one in the military. The Vietnam vets, of which I am one, don't want to happen to the Afgan and Iraq vets what happened to us. We want the media to acknowledge what these young men and women are doing. It about time that the general population start putting something toward the war effort. That might generate some interest, but I doubt it and American Idol gets more coverage then those that fight for freedom. What a shame.
