It is truly disgusting watching the mainstream media falling all over themselves trying to sell this war.   My past blog on the media’s culpability in selling Iraq….

As yet, I haven’t seen any of them mention the Russian warships en route to Syria.  Putin states that Russia will help Syria.  Note that “help” includes weaponry.

Last night, CBS shows a visual of people being forced to kneel as the captors aim their rifles.  Scott Pelley then says “we won’t show you them being shot….but you will hear the gunfire…”  and then proceeds to air the execution.  Shame on you, CBS, for using such graphic tactics.

It’s hard for anyone to ignore that.  You want to help these people.  You don’t want to see anyone suffer. 

…but what you don’t see is the media’s same concern, for, say, Chicago.  To take a nod from Stephen Colbert, who rightly pointed out that “if we were going to war over people being shot, we should invade Chicago. ” 

Why isn’t the media that concerned with what is going on at home?

Dianne Feinstein said that her constituents are very much against us bombing Syria….but with a smug smile on her face says, “…but they don’t know what I know….”  She reminded me of a middle schooler who says “I know something you don’t know.”   ::giggle giggle::  It was patronizing and once again shows how little D.C. is concerned with the opinions of war weary Americans.

Has anybody else noticed that they’re not talking about the uptick in the stocks since the announcement of going into Syria?

This just in from Canada’s Global News.  Note that other world leaders are questioning whether Assad  is to blame for chemical use.
