The mainstream media has a long, storied history of not paying attention to news that actually matters. Take, for instance, the recent hubbub about how eight lawyers were fired from the Department of Justice.
Story after story after story describes the gritty details and oh-so scandalous cover-up (at least, they've tried to invent a cover-up) of how eight (8) lawyers at the Department of Justice were "wrongfully" fired from their jobs.
In the meantime, there is very little coverage of the Democratic Congress' efforts to cut off funding for our troops in the field, as well as put an artificial timeline on how our military does its job. Over one hundred thirty-five thousand (135,000) troops are currently stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and if the liberals running Congress have their way, these troops will be out of supplies, dangerously cut off in the field:
On Thursday the Senate also voted 82-16 to pass a nonbinding resolution by Republicans that vows to protect funding for U.S. troops in the field. For weeks Democrats had resisted voting on this proposal, fearing its passage would overshadow their focus on ending the war, or commit them to opposing funding cuts for the conflict.
We're not sure why the Democrats want to take responsibility for allowing Iraq to fall to the terrorists, but they seem intent on micromanaging this war. We're not sure why they would want to cut off supplies for our troops in harm's way either. And the media seems intent on ignoring that.
