when they're killed.

Check out this headline from msnbc.com:

You have to read down a bit to learn that one of the "foreign troops" was an American--a foreigner to Afghanistan

3. Same with that annoying "Fair & Balanced" schtick

there is no equal time for reichwing lies or any lies for that matter.
I've had it with lazy tv journalists who sit there and go "uh-huh"
as KKKarl Rove marionettes recite today's talking point smears & propoganda.
It's all garbage.... and these "enablers" are nothing more than garbagemen.
Hey newsfolk... do your "job" as journalists or get off the air.
