How come the media isn't covering the escalating US Presence in Afghanistan?

[upper cut smash]

Do they want to protect Obamas image

 

[sculpin]

They don't have a Republican administration to undermine.

 

[Matt]

I smell a conspiracy

Brainwashed Liberal media protecting their puppet leader

 

[CodyTheConservative]

Yeah.

This topic is \/\/ / /\/

 

[Quan]

Hmmmm. I have heard of this. I watch CNN.

 

[Brown9500v1]

We're sneaking up on them....Shhhhhhhhhh.

 

[Satanic Jesus]

They are.

There was a good NEWSWEEK cover story about "Obama's Vietnam"

Crawl out from under your rock.

 

[You are all, weirdos.]

They are, they had a few pieces when the operation was started but there haven't been enough deaths to make it headline worthy

 

[Crying tears of geek joy.]

No....Americans are just more interested in the death of Michael Jackson and what is happening on CBS' Big Brother.


Blame society, not Obama.

Whenever the news show Afghanistan or what is happening in North Korea, America yawns and turns their attention to Paris Hilton and next seasons American Idol.

War does not get ratings, dear. And low ratings mean fewer advertising dollars.

It's all about supplying what the public demands.

And sadly, the public generally does not give a rip about issues of importance.

That is nothing new, you know.

They are. It's YOU that's not paying attention..

 

[9-12'er]

You hit the nail right on the head.

How often do you hear about afghanistan and ITS spending, vs Iraqs?
