Yeah that's right......we can't have the "We Support the Troops" flag waving "war cheerleaders" at home actually seeing dead bodies. Poor souls. annoy: |
I'd rather come home from work to see good news being reported rather than hearing about 2 people dying every day even if the news leaned to a side that promoted the war. |
Thats messed up. oOo:
Your essentially saying that the government could do whatever they want, and say everything went well, even though everything didn't go well, and you'd rather be led to believe everything is going fine.
[/quote:f08c1]I never said that I'd like to only hear good stuff comming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. I said that I am sick and tired of hearing about every single death that is reported. If they would flip it around and talk about more good things then negative (which is not lying to the people. It's just changing the overall ratio bewteen positive/negative). People think i'm crazy because I said that I wanted to hear positive things. All anyone ever thinks about are the negatives because that gives them a reason to go Bush-bashing yadda yadda yadda.
Again, I never said I only want to hear positives while the government is free to do what they want. The media leans to the left about the war (for the most part) and I would just like to see it change to come back to center or come to the right and report good things along with the bad.
