Subject: Media Outrage

The obvious bias expressed in news media outlets was a particular aggrivation to me when I was in the service. I mentioned Morely Safer previously because in his rush to leave the base he was just a few feet away from the real story happening in the WAR! Just behind a walled in area was a holding area with injured troops waiting to be flown back home and on the outside of that holding area was the active loading area that was noisy and boistrus activity was taking place. Contrary to to that in the holding area you could have heard a pin drop by comparison minus a few moans and groans, herein lies the real story Safer chose to ignore. Rushing to the jungle to interview pot smoking derelects bragging about fragging their officers and snorting dope out of a shotgun barrel made for better press I guess! I hope we never let him forget this, I was there and I saw what I reported here. Typical news Hack!
