Critics Call Radio Hosts' Trip Propaganda Mission

Be sure to read this article. Apparently, you're not a journalist unless you're trashing the troops....

from Move America Forward...

Critics Call Radio Hosts' Trip Propaganda Mission

A note on this article: I work with the good people of Move America Forward, and I have to tell you that criticism of the "Truth Tour - Live From Baghdad" really strikes me as odd. The reason being is that the idea for such a trip came about because countless Marines and soldiers were
writing back home - and to our organization - very upset that what they saw reported in certain media outlets did not reflect the reality of what they experienced each day on the ground in Iraq.
In fact, one of the founding board members of Move America Forward is a Gunnery Sergeant with the Civil Affairs Division who is currently serving in Iraq (after having served our country in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom). He was with a pair of Washington Post reporters just a couple of weeks ago who made it very clear that the daily accomplishments of
our troops mattered not... As this was not really "news" - when troops would do something to help a school or to help improve daily life or security for Iraqis.

Well, now the soldiers and Marines will have a chance to speak into a microphone and tell Americans what THEY see and experience each day, including the good things they accomplish that Washington Post reporters don't believe counts as 'real news.' There will be no Dan Rather or Newsweek GITMO bureau to interpret what they mean, we'll just have to take at face value the word of the men and women serving in our Armed Forces.

But what do they know about what's going on in Iraq anyways?

Oh, I get it....showing what the troops are really doing is propaganda....smearing them is news. Glad the lefties in the MSM could clear that up for me.
