But the prevailing wisdom within the media is that bad news sells.
There's an old saying: If it bleeds, it leads.
The point is that its misleding most of Americans.And they don't realize it Or at least they don't want to admit it! Lies,Lies <lies...Well great job on giving false and negative coverage to the peeps..So you're saying that the New Generation is growing up on lies,negatives and corruption?
You can come up with all the excuses, they're just like arses..everybody's got one.." If it bleeds, it leads" .. .Blood thirsty hu??? talk about Genocidal..
The reason why they keep misguiding people is because there's nothing left but oil$$..Are you waiting for Usama to come out of his caves?? Lets face it the ARMY is not big enuf to stabelize iraq,iran,afghanistan ect..What else are you doing down there?? there has always and there will always be Insurgents in every country that's History..Again..How about instead of Democrats and Republican NEWS they make real people news??????
Like one of the presidents say a while ago: "The US Goverment is for the American people, by the American people and of the American people".. Now if you ask me this quote has been fading through out History..
