Mainstream Media vs Our Troops

Watching the news today is bad comedy. I see so many newscasters spewing forth bovine excrement, rooting for us to lose the war on terror for their own ideological gains. Take that elitist defeatist (I heard that from someone, and found it a fitting title) Katie Couric. She made a statement (I am not quoting here) about how she is uncomfortable wearing a flag on her lapel and saying "we" in reference to the US. To her, patriotism is bad because it means you are taking sides, instead of playing get along gang (remember that from childhood??? heheh), and war is icky, doesn't make her and her ilk feel good about themselves. It's sad that these narrow minded individuals don't (or WON'T) realize we are fighting a war for the survival of our way of life. The very fact that she can go on TV and spew her garbage is due ONLY to the fact that our soldiers have sacrificed blood sweat and tears for our freedoms, for the last 231 years. I defy any of those leftist blowhards (read: Any NBC or CNN anchor) to go to one of those countries that they feel so bad about us being in conflict with (whether its military or political conflict). like Iran and start making the kind of noise they make here in the US, spouting their anti-government statements. They'd disappear "mysteriously" and never be heard from again. Hey, maybe they SHOULD go into these other countries!!! I mean, if it wasn't for the blood, sweat and tears of our brave men and women in uniform, these media hacks would be muzzled and likely executed, like they are doing in Russia and Mexico these days (do a bit of research on Anna Politkovskaya, or the journalists in Mexico being killed by the drug cartels). And the thanks the troops get is the media ignoring the very real threat, and playing to their own political ideals, which apparently include simply bending over and taking it in the ass from an enemy who wants us all dead.
