the media rarelly gets it right. in a high school history book i had it stated that pearl harbor was a mistake and the japanese never meant to hurt anyone, guess they forget to explain that to the kamkazi pilots. it can be very hard to find the trueth. my brother in law believes that if maccain is elected our country will be turned into a war machine and all young men will be sent off to war, guess who he si still supporting? hillary. very funny how ignorant some can be.

Greetings:

There has been underway for quite a while a movement to establish a special status for media types to protect them from having to reveal their sources to the government when they find it inconvenient to do so. Euphemistically, the proposed action is referred to as a “Shield Law” but it might be better named the “All Animals are Equal; some Animals are more Equal Law” (with appropriate apologies to George Orwell).

Maybe, when our illustrious legislators are putting together the bill, they can add on a couple of sections concerning journalistic malpractice of which this anecdote might be a prime example.

Not quite the same, but still within the realm of “on-topic”:

Glad you checked dons_mind. It sounded like one of those internet stories, but Snopes verified that it was “largely true” as it related to the report Raddatz made.

And of course we all know that many of these polls touting Obama being ahead are rigged with larger numbers of Democrats participating.

I don’t think there is any doubt where the military stands in this election. McCain, a war hero vs. Obama the Community Organizer and Chicago snake oil peddler.

hate to rain on the parade – but give a read at http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/raddatz.asp

especially give a read to ms raddatz’s email at the end of the snopes piece……not that it lends any credibility to this one way or the other – but fair and balanced is fair and balanced!
