    So why does the media report his views on the war but not on the media?

    Why do the war supporters not read the entire articles and simply stop reading when something isn't on their side?

    Hardly covered the whole story though did it? with a little mention, media is supposed to report the whole story not just bits they like, that's the problem that he points out biased reporting & your just proving the point he's making by claiming a mention is enough

    It was an over view, it did not have every quote he made, nor did your story :rolleyes:

    In your logic then, unless they printed every single word he stated it is 'biased' or at least every word that supports your view.

    BTW the 'biased' media could easily be the media who is 'biased' on pushing the war. Didn't think of that now did you?

    Naturally it was an overview, but apparently an overview by nearly every news outlet that doesn't support the war & the same news outlets that have been bashing the war from day one.

    They don't have to mention everything word for world, but fair reporting of all subjects mentioned (big issues) should be reported.

    OK hows my news.

    Ricardo Sanchez - Speaks of MSM scum

    In his speech to the Military Reporters and Editors Association in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Sanchez made many accusations, including blaming reporters for "unscrupulous reporting, solely focused on supporting an agenda and preconceived notions of the U.S. military."

    Without naming a specific company, Sanchez said "parent media organizations" have political agendas that direct the news coverage of the war and in some cases put U.S. service members in deadly situations.


    "What is clear to me is that you are perpetuating the corrosive partisan politics that is destroying our country and killing our service members who are at war. My assessment is that your profession, to some, has strayed from these ethical standards and allowed external agendas to manipulate what the American public sees on TV, reads in newspapers and what they see on the Web," Sanchez said.

    Also he said he's unhappy with how the Iraq war was managed.

    Nice? unbiased? just an overview?





    You know exactly what media he was talking of, don't play games.

    Actually the link I posted covered everything, sorry it didn't cover your angle as much as you had hoped.

    Drugged up hippies, yeah because so many are for the war :rolleyes:

    You are yet another person so blind that your last gasp is to 'try' to blame the media, grasp to only the stories that show your side and attack all others. The story was an overview, it covered all, but nope for a pro war monger that was not enough. :rolleyes:

    Your overview you typed is a joke compared to what the article I posted, a severely bad attempt to try to make something that is not there.

    We know what media do we, to me it's the media who lies and allowed the lies of terrorists being in Iraq supported by Saddam before we attacked, which media do you think it was?

    The real fact here is you got caught trying to spread a lie, I showed the article clearly stated the media. However instead of admitting it you like all good war mongers back tracked, tripped over yourself and tried to grasp at making a case where one does not exist.

    Better luck next time ;)

    The concepts quite simple to grasp, he bashed the liberal media (that spins the anti-war propaganda, that people like you are so eager to soak up) & that same media didn't report that fact half as much as the did the Iraq issue.

    It's easy keep up;)

    So you just came in to bash FOX, you didn't like the media bashing bit & FOX reported it? Are you ejecting yourself from the thread now?

    It's easy for most ;)

    And good points too. It's amazing how biased and one-side *some* are, to the point of repeated dishonesty. If it's good news, they'll twist it in every way, to the point of outright lying, to push their wussified views.

    If a General speaks out, he's their hero, if he steps up to the plate, they'll tear him down. They only care about the military when it's members serve as their tool.

    I thought "personal attacks" were not allowed anymore? That post just above your last one sure looks like one to me. Considering who it is, though, it's not surprising.

    The anti-war propoganda, you mean the stuff that has been proven to be CORRECT unlike the falsehoods you have lapped up for years? :D

    So now you admit you were wrong? It wasn't 'enough' but not 'nothing'? Not enough for your side, but definitely not nothing at all?

    Yes it is easy to keep up, it's very easy to shoot your failed and weak attempts here to make something that does not exist, lies are easily caught such as I caught you attempting ;)

    How do you know it's the 'liberal' media? It might very well be, I'd surely like to see how you have the proof more than the ranting of right wingers, the same ones who have continued to be WRONG for years on Iraq ;) If you wish to continue to be wrong, by all means be wrong, please however try not to lie ;)

    That's funny Gtech, the king of personal attacks ;)

    If you think showing a lie is a personal attack by all means report me.

    It's also funny that if a General speaks against this administration you yourself do not take their word, but when they are holding the administrations line they are your hero. :rolleyes:

    A lie was pointed out, easy to see but nope lets bypass that and rant on dishonesty, give me a break.

    My favorite general, wow are you a parrot? You take Gtechs lies and spread them as your own?

    So can you admit you lied?

    I have actually stated in the previous thead we did not hear the entire statement by him, I was hoping to hear more. I am glad to see more quotes, I unlike you will not lie ;)

    He is not, nor has he ever been my 'favorite' general. But I guess anyone who does not share your view becomes the enemy hey?..

    Some people wear their agenda on their sleeve and when convenient, try to put a long sleeve shirt on.

    Blow back in action :D
