So we ask again, "Where is the press?"
Have there ever been a more irresponsible and sorry bunch of elitist bastards on this earth?

<snip>
Soldiers missing limbs. Young men with massive brain injuries and severed spinal cords.

Neurosurgeon Dr. Gene Bolles saw the "horrific cost" of war as he tried to patch up American soldiers injured in Iraq.

2. That is the $64,000 question
We do not have an functioning press; therefore we do not have a functioning democracy.

5. The press is merely giving the public what they want.
Iraq is too depressing. The press, to keep it's ratings, must not carry much bad news. Iraq will not be well covered until the sons of the wealthy start to die in large numbers.

It's not the press, it's the 51% retards in this country.
