Little Green Footballs has the details.
It’s so disgusting that I can’t even put it into words.
Anymore questions out there from any of you who still think the MSM doesn’t despise the military?
Flashback: This cartoon says it all, as does this interview with ABC News’ reporter Terry Moran regarding anti-military bias in the media.
Read more via Michelle Malkin and AllahPundit.
PM Update: Malkin, as usual, is on top of things and posts about the RAMPANT hypocrisy the MSM is showing with regards to songs members of the military sing/rap. Check out the lyrics the MSM praised versus the lyrics that are being slammed now.
I’m not prone to using certain curse words, but I have to admit a few are springing to mind right now that would be quite appropriate for the usual suspects in the MSM.

ARGH
And the left will when presented with this information act like their side of the story is correct. Never can they see another side of the story.

Gee, I thought the rule of law says that you are ‘innocent til proven guilty’. It is truely scary how much the media and the left want this country to become the next USSR.

Bak, scmommy,
These are the same type of people during my enlistment if you had the misfortune to find yourself in there company would spit at you and call you names like “Baby Killer”. This all sparked by The Peace Movement, Hanoi Jane and John Kerry’s Winter Soldiers Hearings painting our troops as blood thirsty killers. The names and faces have changed but the loathing for our men and women in uniform hasn’t changed. History is being repeated looking at the way the media was during Vietnam and how they are acting towards the military now. The difference is they don’t totally control (As they did then) what information the American public gets thanks to the internet (Blogs) and some newspapers and FoxNews.

These lefties better watch their free speech. The 1st amendment only protects your right to say stupid things. It doesn’t stop people from reacting to what you say or retaliating for what ou said.

“It doesn’t stop people from reacting to what you say or retaliating for what ou said.”
General criminal law does that.

I’m happy they are saying stupid things. They make themselves irrelevant and look stupid.
Leftism will be defeated because they have freedom of speech.
Leftism grows in countries (througout history) where freedom of speech isn’t allowed (like GOOGLE/CHINA) and Iran and NK. There stupidity reigns

General criminal law does that.
It covers it, and it’ll sure be a comfort to your widow and children that the person who beat you to death over what you said was found guilty. But then, reacting to or retaliating doesn’t have to be illegal. Bought any good Ditzy Twits tickets lately? Liberals often whine that their free speech rights are taken away when they are not, no one guarantees you will not suffer consequences, social ostracization, loss of revenue/business, etc. You can say what you want, almost, but no one guarantees that others have to listen or will not make you suffer for it. It’s generally the liberals who want to stifle free speech they don’t like, and then send you into political re-education camp, for daring to say something against their “religion.”
Of course, in the US free speech does tend to point out the imbeciles and morons quite easily and well, another advantage to the 1st Ammendment. It helps you find the targets you’ll want to use the 2nd on.

I don’t really listen to big/corporate country. But i never got what that whole flap was about. All they said was one thing. One thing. People with power demand a lot of conformism in todays society.

ST, surely you’ve caught David Gregory & Moran as well in the WH press briefings these past 5+ years, they don’t hide their contempt or hatreds for anything, Gregory’s questions are so loaded I’m surprised they don’t explode before they leave his face..
Judging from that appearance a few months ago on IMUS, Gregory may be loaded in more ways than one! ; )
Good luck to the hurricanes trying to secure Lord Stanley’s prized cup tonight, though I am rooting for the opposition.

You know, if enough broadcasters who broadcast this crap had fight to keep their licenses because the public challenged that they were not broadcasting in the public interest, you wouldn’t see very many of the them willing to broadcast the unfounded crap like this that they put out now.

PCD - The Justice Department is really making it hot for the NY Times reporters involved in the NSA/Plame/Secret Prison leak investigations. If they bring down indictments and theres some jail time meeted out, all of this junk journalism will quiet down for awhile. The left wing media always push it as far as they can till they get their hands slapped. So far they haven’t had to pay for all of this partisan irresponsibility, but that could change soon. Lets hope. They give the Left an unfair advantage because the lies get repeated and the public often never finds out the truth when it finally comes out, because these same yellow reporters bury it on page 26 in a one inch column. When they’re tried though they can’t hide. Their only choice then is to suddenly plead “victim”, forgetting all the people they’ve falsely accussed or demeaned. I put those type of reporters right up there with used car salesman, only even more sleazy.

I think these reporters and their editors have gone too far. If any of their stories resulted in the death of even on soldier, I think both the reporter and the editor should get a death penalty, and their “news” organization sanctioned until it hurt or beyond. They have a 1st Amendment to say what they want, but not immunity from suffering the consequences of being irresponsible liars.
