Jacko dear boy...

Do the names Dan Rather, Jason Blair, Mary Mapes, Newsweek ring a bell with you? None are associated with Fox News. The New York Times owns Newsweek and employed Jason Blair. CBS employ/used to employ Blather and Mapes.

Fox News does in fact hold the Liberals and Left leaning media outlets feet to the fire. That is as it should be.

Under our constitutional guarantees is the freedom of speech.....but it requires a committment to the truth by those so protected which in so many cases now days does not exist.

The shocking thing to me is how the other media outlets herd up around those that get caught lying...Jacko....in case your eyes are getting weak..."LYING"....rather than treating them in the same way they do our military when something happens that falls beyond the standards we expect our troops to maintain.

Those in the media that abuse their special position in our society with immunity from denouncement by their peers....perpetrate a very real crime against those that are in harms's way protecting their lying butts.

I would submit to you and those that take the Higher moral ground in this debate that you are not on the crest of the hill here....you conveniently ignore the "TRUTH" when it suits your political purpose.

The truth of the matter is the conventional media is beyond contempt and it is their very own doing. If they wish to take an editorial view it should be clearly contained within that portion of their product....marked in big bold letters as being "their opinion" and not necessarily based upon the facts of the issue. That is not happening now.....and our democratic way of life is in risk of destruction as a result.

It is the soldiers that give us our freedoms...not the publishers or news presenters.....some in our midst have forgotten that.
