Where's the media story on that?
The surge was not a success! Where's the media on this?
Instead while people bicker about the primary, the media politely lets McCain LIE about what he said. "100 years? "That'd be fine with me."

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/191838.php It seems the AP has fallen for the McCain campaign's and the RNC's effort to prevent anyone from using McCain's own words against him during the 2008 presidential campaign. As noted earlier, what the McCain campaign is pushing for here is a standard in which any negative ad targeting McCain must be delivered with the McCain camp's own spin included in order to be within bounds -- a standard few politicians, to say the least, have ever been granted. And even though the political press has been highly indulgent of the McCain campaign on this issue, I don't think I've seen any news organization so egregiously buy into McCain's false statements as the Associated Press.
The AP article lede reads: "The Republican National Committee demanded Monday that television networks stop running a television ad by the Democratic Party that falsely suggests John McCain wants a 100-year war in Iraq."
Yet at the same time, the media (CNN and FOx) has covered up the coffins and refused to talk about the most deadly month in Iraq since September 07.
Four more American kids were killed in Iraq today. Four more names piled onto the thousands of dead Americans who volunteered to defend their country and were sent to their deaths by George W. Bush.
This makes the deadliest month in Iraq since September of 2007.
But none of this happened.
Because our media has no reports on it.

It's our soldiers and it's our Vets.
THE MEDIA HAS BLOOD ON ITS HANDS--remember that!!! WE SHOULD PULL TOGETHER TO GET A REAL MEDIA WHO FOCUSES ON THE REAL BETRAYALS OUT THERE, NOT THE FAKE, TRUMPED UP Bull Sh*T!
BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW.
