I’m sure they NEVER get stories incorrect, you know like that “sandwich of hate” story.

BTW, the story ran on May 17th and she is just getting around to it now?

Do you ever read about newspaper editors propositioning young people, getting nailed for DUI’s, or cooking the books? Do you ever hear radio specials about reporters taking favors from political candidates for favorable coverage, or columnists who neglect to mention that they contribute to someone’s campaign? Do you ever see an hour-long expose’ on TV about anchormen who just fabricate and lie to the public? Of course not!

That’s why the media is the most ethical force in our society, because none of that nasty stuff happens there like it does in all the businesses and institutions like you read about in the media all the time.

And you can be sure that if it did, they would tell us about it because their complete honesty would compel them to. So let’s cut out all the media-bashing, okay? There’s a war on, and we need to be able to count on the media to give us the unbiased truth at all times.

ps. And how about knocking off criticizing our Hollywood celebrities? If not for the image of America they project, the world might see us as nothing more than a few hundred thousand young men and women risking their lives to free millions from tyranny. The media certainly would not want that to happen.

-NBC was given accurate information from the Pentagon about how the vests performed,

-NBC chose to perform their own tests, but their willful negligence in non fact-checking led them to come up with wrong results,

-NBC then chose to present their fallacies as facts, accusing the US Military of deliberately providing an inferior grade of body armor for combat. This fallacy, caused by direct negligent, therein caused enormous emotional harm to soldiers and their families.

Can’t we get a Class Action suit out of this? I’d love to financially break the peacock over this. This was malicious.

I realize you were trying to insult the old peacock, however “communism” is probably on their mission statement.

I agree, they’ve got to be held accountable, but really… what can we do?

No offense, but hello, there, iferg! This has been going on for 40 years. When I was a little kid, I somehow wound up with, believe it or not, a “Richard M Nixon coloring book” filled with “witty” comments (I say “somehow because both my parents were Republicans). Even as far back as the lkate 60’s/early 70’s the mainstream left had no trouble trying to brainwash even little kids into seeing the world through their tunnelvision prism, though doubtless the comic-book venue would be defended by the left as “parody”. Still, it was sold amongst the kid stuff where kids, primarily, would be exposed to the thick propoganda in it’s “wimsical” pages. These people are beneath nothing, and will do anything.

That’s why we need start making noise, and not just here: anywhere – call-in talk shows, e-mails, blogs like this, editors to the paper (like they’re going to print desenting views!)

I may sound a bit like a wild-eyed reactionary here, but no more so than if someone you loved had a heart attack in front of you: do you sit and assume everything will be all right, or do you scamble to the phone like hell and do everything you can while awaiting the ambulance? That’s the situation with this country right now – it’s feedom and it’s societal values, it’s blood – are being drained and clogged, and the left-wing media is the heart attack. So much else goes away – almost everything troubling from a socio-political stabdpoint, if you just get rid of that heart attack. And it needs to be done, and fast. The left used to be shy about going too far because the backlash was an unknown quantity. Now they know they can get away with almost anything they want, and that’s exactly what they’re trying to do.

I work in the media. Trust me – I know!
