Rupture in the rapture
Another example of a rupture, of the clear control of American media to present a particular point of view was brought up yesterday by Retired Military Patriot.
Last week, the Winter Soldier's Investigation of Iraq and Afghanistan conducted hearings in Maryland on war crimes committed in these wars by the Iraq Veterans Against the War. As RMP detailed, it was news in other countries, in the UK, Australia, and elsewhere, but not even covered in the US. IHT covered it, which is owned and operated by the NYT and WaPo, but not in either paper, Stateside.
It's tantamount to censorship. Perhaps they were worried about another rupture.
Even the two part Frontline piece concentrated in its second part on mistakes made, not on whether or not the whole damn thing was a mistake. War critics. Zeesh!
