How the D-Day ivasion would be reported by today's MSM: Funny read.
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/rnr/93863116.html

"Reports from a makeshift hospital in the French town of St. Mere Eglise said the carnage was far worse than the French had anticipated, and that reaction against the American invasion was running high. "We are dying for no reason," said a Frenchman speaking on condition of anonymity. "Americans can't even shoot straight. I never thought I'd say this, but life was better under Adolf Hitler."

"Contacted at his Manhattan condo, a member of the French
government-in-exile who abandoned Paris when Hitler invaded, said the
invasion was based solely on American financial interests. "Everyone
knows that President Roosevelt has ties to 'big beer,'" said Pierre
LeWimp. "Once the German beer industry is conquered, Roosevelt's beer
cronies will control the world market and make a fortune."

Sometimes you find something good from "Craigslist"

1. Of course, it would be reported this way...
...because Roosevelt was a liberal anti-war extremist.

2. major problem though, the French were right about Iraq, we weren't
another problem with trashing the French or even the Canadians, they both sent troops to Afganistan when we asked.

So as far as the U.S. is concerned it is either our way or no way...

This is why the U.S. is not only losing international credibility, but also the technological edge

3. Minor point
but wasn't the Afghanistan action a result of a UN resolution, not because 'we asked'?

5. Typical right-wing 'liberal media' whining
Not funny in the least. Sadder still that they believe that the corporate media establishment is anything but the Republican propagandists and war cheerleaders that they've proven themselves to be in the past ten years.
