Strange thing I've notice.... info


Since Obama has taken over the Left Wing Media hasn't made many reports about the deaths of US Troops in Iraq or Afghanistan. I remember when Bush was in office nightly reports of US Troop Deaths. Constant reporting of "failure", etc....

Now, not a single freaking word..... Yup. No media bias what so ever.

The same can be said for right-wing media. Nothing new here.

Individual cases are reported but no, it is not politicized like it was against Bush. It is inevitable becuase of the nature of people who make up the Press corps. English majors with great GPAs (who then move to the Journalism school and become "journalists"), Actors (who become anchors)... generally left wing by nature.
The nature of the conflict has changed somewhat though.
The violence in Iraq has gone down and the US operations there are winding down.
The war in Afghanistan is actually something that still has the approval of most folks in the US.

The right wing has quit commenting on Bush's big spending, now that the real pros @ big spending are showing how big spending is done. The left wing still bashes Bush's spending while trying to minimize the vastness of Obama's.

It's not so much about spending itself but where it's being spent and how.
Actually the last time I checked I thought there were several criticisms about the changes that Obama is trying to push forward, not so much the goals, but the methods.
So to say that he is clear of criticism isn't quite fair either.
