Republicans blame the press on Iraq, what a bunch of retards

[killerbush]

The neo-con faithful have now started on their new plan of attack, blame the media. Since the war started, Bush and the Republicans have tried everything under the sun to sell this disaster. But everything they have tried, has utterly failed, and now the old standard again is being trotted out.
Daily, we hear the nasily, high-pitched screams of people like Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingraham, Beck, and others rail against the press for covering the "bad stuff", and not the "good stuff" about Iraq. Hell, if it were up to them, the only thing we would ever see or hear about, would be the one sided good news. They wail on and on, like a berserk chicken,(Hawk), trying to tell us that you cover only the bad news. Well, ladies and gentlemen, the press is covering the bad news, because that's all there is in Iraq these days.
When the war started, the neo-cons didn't even want embeds with the troops saying that they would only end up wasting their time protecting them, and fighting a war. Then the screaming stopped when the troops were in Baghdad. We saw the Saddam statue fall, and people were so happy to see us. I didn't hear one conservative rail against the coverage then, but boy, they are railing against it now, when the American people see tanks being blown up, hostages being killed, mosques being attacked. Now it's why are you showing this?!! Can you say the word hypocrite??

Cry me a river all you neo-cons out there. Boo Hoo Hoo!!! The media is showing the bad stuff. No folks, it's called WAR!!!! Bad things happen in wartime. Soldiers get killed and wounded in wartime. The press is showing this because it's a story. What the neo-cons want is a World War II style war. the enemy being killed, American flags flying in the air, everyone pitching in to win the war. You know, patriotism!!!:patriot: Well, folks, those days are over. You wanted the war, well here it is, warts and all. Live with it you pathetic bunch of assholes.

3. Seems like every other generation has to learn again....

You know there's a reason why Europe is so "liberal." They really suffered through 2 World Wars on their own soil.

4. When YOUR war doesn't turn out how you want

you only have YOURSELF to blame. The only thing I blame the media for is not asking the critical questions of "why is this war necessary?" and "will it really go as well as the neo-cons say?" That's what I blame the media for. To blame them for reporting actual events that happen in Iraq, well that's just silly.

5. If we had a remotely honest media, all these assholes would be in jail...

or, more likely, the jerks would have never come within sniffing range of power.

6. Yeah right.. as if the media declared

a needless and pointless war ...
a war of aggression mind you..
something that this country USED to abhor

7. The media isn't allow to show the caskets of the dead soldiers...

the Pentagon must give the OK for most of what's aired for their television sanitized killing & war. O'Reilly, Hannity, Matthews, Coulter, Scarbough, Blizer, Hume, Limbaugh, (and 99% of talk radio) How many more liberals can you name...

8. Blaming media doesn't get politicians very far.

Media are the ones with the typewriters and the tv cameras. They write the stories. They edit the videotape. Overtly or subliminally they shape public opinion.
They also have libraries of videotape with which they point out politicians inconsistent statements.
And they will point them out with more tenacity when crossed.
