After four years the MSM still does not adequately cover Iraq

and Afganistan is barely mentioned

Here are some exerpts from a Wall Street Journal Article, where within the same aricle you have military spokespeople saying the surge is working:

Car Bomb in Baghdad Kills 10
Associated Press
July 15, 2007 10:22 a.m.

BAGHDAD -- A car bomb packed with explosives detonated Sunday in a central Baghdad square, killing 10 people and wounding 25, the deadliest attack on a violent day that claimed the lives of at least 18 others.

...

In northern Iraq, gunmen ambushed a convoy of border guards, killing six of them along with a civilian, a border guard commander said. When reinforcements pulled in, another guard died in the clash, which took place in the Kani Khal area, 160 miles northeast of Baghdad. The commander said the Sunni extremist group Ansar al-Islam was believed to be behind the attack.

...

Elsewhere, shootings in the northern cities of Mosul and Kirkuk and several areas south of Baghdad killed eight people, according to police officers in the areas. Among them were the wife and son of a city council chief, slain outside their home.

...

Recent weeks appear to have brought a decrease in dramatic car bomb attacks, though the bombings still occur nearly daily. But according to figures gathered by the Associated Press, the daily rate of bodies found dumped in Baghdad --victims of sectarian slayings -- has risen slightly so far this month from June.

...

In the first 14 days of July, 301 bodies were found in Baghdad, or an average of nearly 22 a day, compared to 19 a day in June, when 563 bodies were found, according to AP figures, gathered from daily reports by Iraqi police.

1. You should hear what the brain dead 29% say about it.

We are winning in Iraq but those god damned liberal media types refuse to print the truth. There shouldn't be any news coming out of Iraq as it is all helping the terrorist find and kill the troops. Thats why we lost Viet Nam, to many news reports were coming out of VN and none of them showed the great american victories that happened every day.

4. Those 29% you speak of are pathetic. Maybe they didn't realize that the killing stopped in Nam

AFTER WE LEFT

Viet Nam has evolved today into a market driven economy, but that only happened, after we left

You would think we would have learned by now?

2. The MSM NEVER changed teams. THEY are still owned and operated.........

by RW corporate america running their corporatocracy. I noticed this past week that the neocon spin machine is again running on overdrive. It is going to be a long miserable year and a half until the elections.

5. If we win in 2008, I do not expect the media to be any more balanced either

We have control of the House, and technically control of the Senate. The MSM STILL treats us like the minority

[Double T]

7. Agreed. 'Face the rethug Nation' today ONLY interviewed rethugs.........

and ONLY talked about rethug issues and positions.

8. Election Year = All Repiglickin All the Time on TV

The Mighty Slime Machine hasn't even switched into high gear yet.
It is still allowing a token show of opposition in the media now and then.
Expect them all to fall into line (the Repiglickin' line) over the next few months
as their masters keep them on a short leash.

Our "edge" in fundraising means nothing. They own the media.

3. They are not the MSM Media...

They should be referred to as Corporate Media.....shills, which is what they truly are.

My belief is that we first need to Impeach and prosecute the clowns in office and then re-regulate the media and bring back the fairness doctrine. True Democracy cannot exist with a corporate owned and rather biased media.

6. Impeachment without a doubt. Especially after refusal to testify before Congress

and claiming executive privledge on the Pat Tillman records

Congress IS under attack, along with our Republic

Call your Senators and Congressman, and DEMAND it, otherwise, the executive branch is accountable to no one, and is a direct violation of our Constitution
