www.eyehackerblog.comOnce again, the mainstream media shows itself to be overwhelmingly liberal and this bias influences every aspect of its “reporting” of news. Seymour Hersh, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist (the award itself a liberal stamp of approval) states that the military is nothing more than a band of murderous invaders.
From McGill University:
During his hour-and-a-half lecture – part of the launch of an interdisciplinary media and communications studies program called Media@McGill – Hersh described video footage depicting U.S. atrocities in Iraq, which he had viewed, but not yet published a story about.
He described one video in which American soldiers massacre a group of people playing soccer.
“Three U.S. armed vehicles, eight soldiers in each, are driving through a village, passing candy out to kids,” he began. “Suddenly the first vehicle explodes, and there are soldiers screaming. Sixteen soldiers come out of the other vehicles, and they do what they’re told to do, which is look for running people.”
“Never mind that the bomb was detonated by remote control,” Hersh continued. “[The soldiers] open up fire; [the] cameras show it was a soccer game.”
“About ten minutes later, [the soldiers] begin dragging bodies together, and they drop weapons there. It was reported as 20 or 30 insurgents killed that day,” he said.
If Americans knew the full extent of U.S. criminal conduct, they would receive returning Iraqi veterans as they did Vietnam veterans, Hersh said.
“In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation,” he said. “It isn’t happening now, but I will tell you – there has never been an [American] army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq.”
Well, there you have it. Iraq is a Vietnam and once again, the liberal media types are going to expose the murderous violence and bring this war to an abrupt halt by spreading lies and influencing public opinion against the war and those that wage it on behalf of America. Disgusting. My guess is that unlike Vietnam days, the old media has no lock hold on information and the truth will prevail.
