CONGRESSMAN PATRICK KENNEDY (D-MASS) BLASTS THE MEDIA FOR NOT COVERING THE WARS

This morning all the stupid cable TV talk shows are ripping into Democratic Cong. Patrick Kennedy for sounding off about the lack of coverage of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq by the mainstream media.

PATRICK KENNEDY WAS EXACTLY RIGHT.

In the two years I have been writing this blog I have received over 455,000 "hits" to the blog and I'm told that it is because military families can't find anything in their local newspapers or on TV about the wars.

We were spending $9 BILLION a month at the height of the Iraq War and still there was very little media coverage.

We have lost over 4,500 young men and women in Iraq and close to 1,000 in Afghanistan and still the news media doesn't give a damn.

I know why. It's because over 90 percent of the people you see on TV or read in the print media NEVER served a day of their life in the military. Frankly, they don't give a damn about our troops.

Here is the video Cong. Patrick Kennedy blasting the media on floor of the House of Representatives yesterday.
