Boo Hoo Hoo...
ABC is so liberal it makes me vomit.
Their story choices, their diction, their inflection harbors their unadulterated adoration of everything left-wing. They don't even try to hide it anymore.
The funny thing is, this is coming from someone's whose political viewpoint has become more liberal over the past few years. That's not the point.
I don't care what they think. I want to know what they know. And I want to know all the information pertinent to a topic, so that I can form my own opinion.
Case in point- they just bashed Bush for not finding Osama.
They fail to mention the following:
1. No major terrorist attack has occurred in America since 9/11.
2. Terrorists want to terrorize us.
3. They haven't stopped because we asked nicely.
4. An incapacitated Osama is just as good as an imprisoned Osama.
5. Pakistan refuses to let us search in their country.
6. This being the case, Osama is probably in Pakistan.
And they state it like Bush isn't trying hard enough. Sometimes a lack of effort, or more of it, isn't the source or solution to a problem. They picture him sitting at a table, eating something fancy, when a white house aide whispers in his ear, "Sir, we've found Osama but he's twenty miles away from the nearest group of soldiers." Bush thinks for a moment while chewing his food and says, "We'll get him next time. Twenty miles is pretty far."
Whether Republican or Democrat, we're all Americans. And everyone from Pat Buchanan to Russ Feingold felt that instinctive, visceral reaction to 9/11- Bush included. Anyone who says he doesn't want Osama is an idiot. And anybody who thinks they could do a better job, go for it.
Aren't reporters supposed to go where the story is? Why haven't they snuck into Pakistan and went out on a camel ride through the desert and mountains with a trusty camel and a video recorder? My guess is because it's awfully hard to criticize someone after your head's cut off.
(Once again, this isn't an attack on liberalism- it's a complaint about the lack of perspective in news reporting. The same argument could be made using something said on a conservative station as well.
But to recap- Bush hasn't found Osama, so exactly nothing good or honorable has come out of this whole, sad affair.
Pass it on.
