While skimming the net for news of the day, on my source of choice yahoo.com, I stumbled across something I hadn't noticed while checking out the headlines.
I had watched countless videos on the "king of pop", another college athelete gone astray, and a jet liner crash in Yemen. Then just as I was beginning to tire of what I was watching, and considering getting off the computer, up popped a video of Gen. Odierno giving a press conference.
This piqued my interest, as he was talking about the milestone of troop withdraw out of the major cities and turning over security in these areas to the sovern Iraqi goverment. What good news out of Iraq? Something that the Bush administation started coming to fruition? No matter where you stand on the Bush administration or the Obama one, this should show what the main stream media is feeding you.
This should have been a major headline, not something buried at the bottom of the heap. After checking out to see how I could have missed this major story, at least in my mind, I did discover a mention in the bottom of what would probably be the top 14 stories of the day. What was their take on this event? "Car bomb kills...as Iraqis celebrate."
So terrorist steal another headline, on what again should be a major story of freedom. A story where lives are "normalizing" to a freedom loving people. Where once a dictator ruled with an iron fist, where report after report poo-pooed trying to give freedom to an Arab nation. Thanks Yahoo for making it crystal clear where your allegance lies.
