Media folks really need another war

[DJ in WA]

I’ve seen these videos lately. Appears that the media desperately needs another war. Must be good money in it for them. Maybe more viewers and more advertising dollars?

I recall Dan Rather admitting he should have been more skeptical before we last went into Iraq. The media is supposed to challenge the claims of government, but they’re in the same bed.

Just another diversion. Used to be a war stirred up all kinds of emotions. People became patriotic. Now people just hate whoever the goobermutt says are the bad people and they just go back to their miserable lives. Makes the sheeple feel like the goobermutt is fixing their worries....for them....James

What happens when the next load of sarin arrives? And the one after that. And the one that crosses a border?
Does anyone really think that flippant sarcasm will resolve any problem?
I don't know what is right or possible, but I do know that such deaths, even in the camp of an enemy, deserve more respect.
