The next time somebody tells you there is absolutely no bias in today's media, you can refer them to this article from the Associated Press:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Five roadside bombs killed at least three people in Iraq on Sunday — the three-year anniversary of the Baghdad's fall to U.S. forces. Iraq police and soldiers bolstered security in the capital to prevent attacks on "Freedom Day." The holiday marks the April 9, 2003 event in which a huge crowd of Iraqis cheered as U.S. Marines hauled down the statue of Saddam Hussein on Firdous Square, marking the collapse of his regime.
The AP barely mentions Iraq's "Freedom Day" holiday, choosing instead to note that at least three people were killed in roadside bomb attacks. Three people killed in the country in one day??? Wow. More people are killed than that in one day in my city. But at least the AP has things in perspective.
Unbelievable.
If you want to read about that day by someone who was there, go to Blackfive's blog and read about the cigar Marine.
ReplyDeleteMSM doesn't get it!
For even more blatant media bias, see this and this.
ReplyDeleteAnd for something that has nothing to do with bias or the media, see here.
I watched a really interesting Battle for Baghdad this morning that focused on that day. It was nice to see and hear about the events from the perspective of the guys involved. The narrator even said the media got it wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhile watching the recap of the battles that took place leading up to April 9th, I was just so upset that we don't get to so the stories from those men on a daily basis. We won't. It isn't negative enough. MSM=rat bastards
