I have a cousin who has been living in China for 3 years. He says he's
amazed
at the censorship here in the US media. He sees both what we get, as
well as
what the rest of the world sees and he has seen interviews with American
reporters who say they're not allowed to say what's going on on both
sides by
the US bosses. So, yes our media is very, very biased. it's owned by
people
with heavy ties to the white house.

Onto another related topic ... it blows my mind that so many of the
young US
service people are saying, Well, I never realized I would really have to
kill
somebody... Duh! what did they think war is? I know that when the
military
goes into high schools, they downplay the war part, and promote it as a
way
out of poverty, as just another scholarship means... Still, you have to
wonder.
