IDBillzFan Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The first rule of newspapers used to be to report the news not to make it. It'll revert back one day. As it is, most "news reporters/commentators" are a tingly leg and "Oh, God" away from irrelevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Really, you need to do some research, because you're wrong. That's his motto. Hell, if someone wanted to buy a paver with "Pasta Joe, you need to do some research, because you're wrong" on it, I'd chip in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinVA Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Bush knew the MSM would use the caskets as a political tool (day in and day out) to sway public opinion against the war. CNN "Another bad day in Iraq, here arrives 50 dead American soldiers... here arrives 45 dead soldiers...,here arrives 63 dead soldiers..., when is this going to stop, look at all these young lives cut short by an unjust war. blah blah blah." The MSM would politicalize these deaths and Bush did not want that and I don't blame him. The press could print names, dates, quantity, etc. of all casualties in the war but nothing quite hits home like seeing caskets come off a plane with loved ones in tow. The MSM would have exploited this to move their political agenda, foster anti-war feelings and use it as a ratings segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
