This Appeal for Redress incident is so telling of mainstream media bias that it is virtually pathonemonic, a diagnostic term physicians use to demonstrate that the presence of a specific symptom is a near-guarantee of a particular, underlying disease. This manipulated, misleading and misrepresentative use of a small group of malcontents to represent our armed forces at large is hailed by the media and given copious ink and air time in major media forums around the world while the honorable members of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, who ultimately had such major, historical impact on an American presidential election that they kept a lying traitor from becoming Commander-in-Chief of the very armed forces he betrayed, couldn't get anyone to cover their press conferences until it was painfully obvious, even to the biased boobs in the media, that the Swiftees were going to torpedo their lefty hero.

And then what did they get, these men who had bravely served their country, first in an unpopular war, lost for them by an earlier generation of this same mainstream media, then secondly by coming out of their comfortable anonymity to stand once more to defend the rest of us from a huge fraud being perpetrated by one of the true war criminals of the Vietnam War? How about such sneering condescension and excremental excoriation that the very term, "swiftboating" has come to have a contemptuous, derogatory meaning in the lexicon of liberals and their media lapdogs? I apologize for that use of "lapdog" knowing full well it is a favored epithet of the world socialist movement and their fellow travelers, but golly, doesn't it just so beautifully describe our modern media? I can almost hear George Soros snapping, “Heel! Sit!” Of course there is the exception of FOX News, which the rest of those poodles consider to be a pit bull driven mouth-frothing mad with right-wing rabies.

For a more current example of this lack of media evenhandedness, one only has to look at the Gathering of Eagles counter-rally scheduled for March 17th in Washington by veterans’ organizations and other patriotic Americans to protect our war memorials from the same possible desecration by antiwar protestors as occurred to our Capitol building during a recent antiwar demonstration. Carefully note how a truly "grassroots" event, involving tens of thousands of citizens coming spontaneously to their capitol at their own expense to fulfill a sense of patriotic duty, is being studiously ignored by the major networks and most other media organizations.

That’s right; thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of Americans stepping forward to protect our sacred war memorials, our symbols of our nation’s gratitude for the sacrifices of our warriors is all but ignored while a handful of military malcontents, manipulated by some pinko public relations pimps is hailed as being emblematic of the discontent in our forward-deployed forces and given as much ink and airtime as their predecessors gave their then “war hero” John Kerry back in 1971.

Any physicians reading this, I ask you: is that pathonemonic or what?
