I'm worried with the positive press tRump is getting regarding his recent missile strikes and MOAB dropping.
That this will encourage him to do more of this.
Even Hillary praised his ridiculous Syria strike that accomplished what exactly?
This asshat loves praise and is a TV junkie.
I think we're going to see more war soon.
I remember watching in horror as bombs reigned down on Iraq while the TV media lapped it up like just another reality show.

War is so addictive for a lot of people. They think it's a movie or sporting event. Correction, they don't think at all, including the media.

(396 posts)That's why they cover military affairs with no counter arguments and attack anyone who doesn't go along with their propaganda. American MSM is the absolute worst when it comes to foreign policy. That should be known by now.

They not only take their cues from the government; they also pander to their audience.
The US has been a very sick place for a long, long time.

(28,136 posts)During "Shock and Awe" while the media and many Americans were simply overjoyed and orgasmic over it.
I knew , on a certain level, the horror those people were experiencing. A horror forgotten by many in our mentally ill country.

(7,006 posts)And on CNN, I heard the extremely disgusting term being thrown around like a 1983 "War Games" Movie of "Thermonuclear War". A ball developed in the pit of my stomach immediately, as a result.
Does the Media recognize its GOOD FRIDAY? Does the media craving for "ratings" have a ounce of respect for the FACT a "Thermonuclear War" with any foreign nation means the END of SOCIETY as we know it? Do they care?
It made me sick......

(6,931 posts)Day after day on the so called "Liberal media" about Bush "making his case for war". Of course it was 100% LIES and BS and they KNEW IT, but that didn't stop the Corporate Media from going full blast on it and selling advertising time at no doubt a JACKED up rate.
