CONGRESS HOLDS HISTORIC DEBATE ON AFGHANISTAN WAR, BUT MEDIA IS MIA

The mainstream media failed to make an appearance for a historic debate in Congress on the Afghanistan War on Wednesday.

This has been happening since both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars started almost a decade ago.

This is why this blogger launched CORKSPHERE, http://corksphere.blogspot.com over two years ago. We could see the media was not interested in either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.

Congressman Patrick Kennedy, D-Mass., earlier this week scolded the media for their lack of coverage of the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan that have combined cost the U.S. over 5,000 young Americans KIA (killed in action).

Read more here about how the media turned their back on covering the debate on the Afghanistan War held in Congress earlier this week.

GUT-WRENCHING ACCOUNT FROM A US. MEDIC ON WHAT HE SAW DURING AN EVACUATION MISSION IN AFGHANISTAN

YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE AND HEAR THIS YOUNG MEDIC TELL ABOUT WHAT HE SAW ON A MEDEVAC MISSION IN AFGHANISTAN.

Perhaps this is what Cong. Patrick Kennedy (D-Mass.) was talking about when he blasted the media for devoting 24/7 of their time to former Cong. Eric Massa who addmitted to groping young men at a party in Washington.

Would CNN, MSNBC or FOX NEWS ever air this video? Do pigs fly?

The executives in the news media say the American public have "fatigue" over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I would like to see just ONE of the news executives tell that to the young medic in this video.

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.
