Mainstream media LOVES the troops

On Friday’s Fox & Friends, Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt rattled off a series of U.S. and Iraqi achievements, then blasted the liberal media for failing to report them. “If you talk about success in Iraq, then you’re somehow giving credit to McCain,” Hunt surmised, “and I think it’s wrong, because it does not give credit to the soldiers who have earned this, and we need to stop it.”

Hunt noted that the Iraqi military and police have become more professional and are acting independently of U.S. forces, putting down a Shiite rebellion in the southern city of Basra; that an Iraqi force is stabilizing the Sadr City portion of Baghdad and the government has achieved a truce with radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr; al-Qaeda in Iraq is badly damaged and could lose its last stronghold in Mosul; and the successful campaign against al-Qaeda in Iraq has contributed to a 40 percent decline worldwide in deaths due to terrorism.

Yet, Hunt pointed out, “if it’s not Abu Ghraib with 50 stories in the New York Times, no one in the press that I’ve heard -- besides here -- will even talk about success.” More at Newsbusters:

LMAO -- he sounds shocked!! AS IF the media will give any credit whatsoever to the military/troops. Have you EVER heard them do it? No. And you won't.

Klown's prediction: If the media doesn't completely ignore Memorial Day, they'll put up pictures of our dead heroes and lament how they gave their lives for nothing in Bush's Iraq war -- no -- they won't put it in those terms, but that will be the message, I assure you.

Perhaps Fox News will do a decent job of Memorial Day coverage but, if they do, expect the other networks to be spewing venom at them like a rattlesnake with a buck tooth. Of course, they always do that anyway.
