Bet you didn't see this on Cable News

Bet you didn't see this on Cable News
There are so many news stories coming out centering around our troops and veterans but you don't hear them on cable news. CNN, MSNBC and FOX have been too busy following the pack ignoring the men and women serving. Steven Colbert on Comedy Central devoted an entire week to honoring them while the other "real news" stations avoid them. Even the national news programs find other stories to report on instead of them.

A tiny church in Gainesville, with only 50 members, dominated the news for over a week. It ended up causing protests in other countries at the same time we have men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, risking their lives for people who worship what is written in the book the church wanted to burn.

Reliable Sources on CNN yesterday morning decided to turn the story another way and talk about how the reporting on this was so over the top that it shouldn't have happened. In other words, they were still talking about a story that ended up not even happening.

Gainesville Pastor: Church Will Never Burn Quran - News Story ...
Sep 11, 2010 ... NEW YORK -- Gainesville Pastor Terry Jones says his church will never burn a Quran, even if a mosque is built near ground zero.

I was at a wedding this weekend and a man got up to speak saying that his girl friend's son was one of the ones wounded in the shooting in Iraq.
Iraqi soldier kills 2 U.S. soldiers, wounds 9 more


People were stunned to hear it. They should have known about it but they didn't hear about it on the news.

Now, there are deaths under investigation but you won't hear about them or about the suicides or what is happening to the families falling apart.
Three U.S. servicemembers died in recent days on Okinawa

You won't hear about any of this unless you demand the station you watch covers these stories instead of making the pastor of a tiny church a celebrity.
