Sent to me by a Navy buddy. Can't verify that this is true, but would not be surprised. So easy to manipulate thru television...half truths. V/r, SE ************************ Our News Media Does It Again... Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 12:00 PM To: USMC-Vietnam-Grunt Subject: Our News Media Does It Again
Truly an amazing/depressing example of media... well, not inaccuracy, not mere bias, not somewhat of a slant, but flat-out corruption of journalistic integrity for total dishonest support of one side in the election.
------------------------------------------------------------- This from Major General (ret) Buckman ************************************************** **********************
My niece, Katelyn, stationed at Baluud , Iraq was assigned, with others of her detachment, to be escort/guard/watcher for Martha Raddatz of ABC News as she covered John McCain's recent trip to Iraq . Katelyn and her Captain stood directly behind Raddatz as she queried GI's walking past. They kept count of the GI's and you should remember these numbers. She asked 60 GI's who they planned to vote for in November. 54 said John McCain, 4 for Obama and 2 for Hillary. Katelyn called home and told her Mom and Dad to watch ABC news the next night because she was standing directly behind Raddatz and maybe they'd see her on TV. Mom and Dad of course, called and emailed all the kinfolk to watch the newscast and maybe see Katelyn. Well, of course, we all watched and what we saw wasn't a glimpse of Katelyn, but got a hell'uva view of skewed news. After a dissertation on McCain's trip and speech, ABC showed 5 GI's being asked by Raddatz how they were going to vote in November; 3 for Obama and 2 for Clinton . No mention of the 54 for McCain.

That's what I mean when I say I've seen firsthand that what you see behind the scenes is not the information that goes out.

The only under cover work I expect from the Clintons, is Bill trying to get under covers with Obama's wife.

Seen an interesting advertisement from the Obama camp, lady with her baby saying "John McCain, if your counting on my baby to be in Iraq for 100 years, forget it."
Next up, what will Obama do about the gas price crisis

knowing they are very close dinning companions in the senate and that John mcCain would screw a dead wolf carcas if he thought no one was looking I bet they are working "under cover" a little more than any of us care to hear.

That's a very scary thought.

Any stats on the undecided voters. There is a strong NoBama (McCain) facion, and a noticeable Obama faction, but what is the breakdown of the voters who have not decided who they will vote for?
I am not referring to some ABC/NBC/CBS/AP biased poll either.
