The enemy no longer sees them as neutral observers but as propagandists. Now they are targets.

The Properties of a War include Journalism of the third kind.

It is very showing that mainstream media is so tightly held by the one percent group. I am trying to recall the last time a Journalist prisoner had their throat cut in the televised medium.

Through the years the reporting seemed mild about Iraq war watching flashing thundering bombs bursting in the background with Journalist on national news shouldering with combat sorties, the constant mantra we are wining especially by George Bush. All the while watching the enemy get creamed.

Or even Cheney, where America is in the last throws of the war. Now Iraq war has expanded to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and a pseudo war in the Ukraine. Likely even that Ukraine war is not truly reported. One more creepy war and should they finally admit it is world war three.

Sure it was President Obama’s fault for all strife and grief, oh yes Obama started this whole mess. Yes, and housing and banking screwed up the job market, and messed up health care, yes I am being sarcastic.

Looks like America is begging to find a good reason to justify the ineptitude or lies that permeate mainstream media, now America has eighteen year olds enlisting new recruits.

Or, is that the signal to the enemy America is desperate because the Jihad mercenaries have been arrested for years in America, also Gitmo but the Republicans don’t want them prosecuted. Come on America we could one of the coolest jury trials in public display about our prisoners but we don’t. Better than throat cutting. Get those cameras in...ACTION ROLL"EM

Since George Bush started this mess should we elect Jeb Bush to finish it, or it is likely Jeb will consider that there is not much profiteering in this one can’t make too much money off of commercial time. Have to have those big chunky trillion dollar deals through the Romney’s Cayman Islands before the Democrats shut that down.
