Ahhh The Media: Lackey of Powers That Be
What they cannot do or are allowed to do is very telling.
And the slants....
How do like this one? In response to much negative commentary about the lack of urgency evacuating Americans in Lebanon.
BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- U.S. Marines poured off military ships Thursday to help rescue Americans from Lebanon.
Some 40 Marines helped families, children in strollers, tourists and the elderly onto landing craft to whisk them to a warship off the coast of Beirut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poured implies a deluge of perhaps thousands of Marines... Forty is actually one raindrop that evaporates before it can quench.

Speaking of the media during this conflict, I really like Nic Robertson from CNN getting a personal tour from members of Hezbalah of some of the damage in Lebanon. Hezbalah so used CNN and got some good propagana points from that piece. If i had to hear that Hezbalah terroist say "look Israel is only targeting our children" one more time i was gonna puke. And of course Robertson never called him out on anything.
Maybe CNN will get a tour from Al Qeada in Iraq, and kiss thier ass too  |

They're sure as hell making themselves (and US) look bad to the rest of the world.
Oh I forgot, Americans don't care what the rest of the world thinks of us.  |

Take a deep breath and focus before you type , you young and impetuous youth 
Over 30 years ago I hitchhiked in Europe and understand how many people from many different countries view us  luckily I had long platinum blonde hair and fair skin so many thought I was from their countries until we talked.... American???????? Yes I was hatched there
