Best wishes and be safe HH6.
I have talked to quite a few vets that have been over there. The media paints the picture that fits their ideology. Dead is real reporting these days...from MSMBC to fox to CNN, there is just too much bias. Journalism should be about facts, not gathering data to support your political ideology. Editorials and shows like Olberman and Beck are fine, but they should be complimentary to the main news shows, which should be unbiased. CNN, who we hope for neutrality, has crossed the line several times, including when their reporter bashed tea party attendants, instead of reporting what was going on. Unacceptable.
