By the same token, contrast the LA Times’ bolstering of the raid “Dolittle Did It!” with recent year’s constant lamentations of troop loses in Iraq, despite the great successes of our troops and then Pres W.
The press is no longer American, it’s liberal, first and foremost.
Plus todays media would have headlined, "US aircraft carrier loaded with bombers on deck seen approaching the Japanese coast".
This brings to mind something I've wondered about a long time now...
Suppose that today, an entire allied force of, say, 150,000 troops in some country like Afghanistan or Iraq were in imminent danger of being soon defeated and overrun, with virtually every allied soldier killed or captured?
And suppose that everyone knew this was about to happen, and nobody in authority was doing anything to stop it or even reduce the impending disaster?
Even forget for a moment if the President is Democrat or Republican, since that obviously would make a huge difference.
But even assuming the President is of the same party as his media propagandists, wouldn't you expect that someone, somewhere in the media today would be publicly wringing their hands and sucking their thumbs over the "decline of America" and the "incompetence" or our military?
Has anyone seen such hand-wringing in "today" of 1942?
Just curious...
