If the flagged draped coffins are being hid, if the daile death tallies
are not being reported, and most Americans still think the news from Iraq is biased with bad news, think what it would be if the coffins were shown and the death tallies were being reported.

The flash=in-the-pan write-in campaign to ABC is a perfect example of how the Bushbots control or influence the media. When will the media/press learn to do good journalism and tell the truth to the American people no matter where the truth takes them? Can't they understand that all their sucking up to the Bushbots has not endeared them to the brainless supporters of the administration? No matter how much they have sucked up, these dittoheads blame them for the catastrophe in Iraq.

1. Bush is a war criminal


and he's trying his damndest to create a smokescreen that will help him to avoid prosecution when his term expires.

2. You know what...I just read a book ...
the premise is, "Letter Writers" influence populations one way or another...And the letter writers enjoy causing the conflict in popular issues..or they sway public opinions..they send their letters, to local newspapers, major media companies etc.

What if these letter writers to ABC are fictitious? They don't exist at all and they are written by political hacks....

Would this be too hard to imagine?

I don't believe anything from the major news sources anymore?:shrug:

3. That's a really good point. They hide the coffins coming home and
the deaths get little attention, sometimes not much more than a mention on the ticker, and yet the media is accused of being biased. Give 'em the kind of coverage the Vietnam War had on the 6 o'clock news and see how they like that. Show the children. Show the destruction. Show the people without water, fuel and jobs. Talk about the contracts and lack of accountability. Talk about the contractors and the torture. Good grief, for this admin to complain about the coverage is like the Princess complaining about still feeling the pea.

And yes, Abramoff emails revealed those GOP turkeys used astroturf.
