Well as many of you have already
seen over the weekend, Rev. Jesse Jackson of the Democrat Party has held what he considers to be the first of more yet to come anti-war rallies in Washington. We can only wonder when it's going to be that Rev. Jackson finally figures out that these rallies do absolutely nothing at all in downtown Washington other than to boost restroom traffic and restaurant traffic for the downtown eateries. We can also wonder when it's going to be that the Associated Press starts to figure out that both Rev. Jackson and his Motor Mouth partner, Rev. Al Sharpton conduct rallies and marches as a "cottage industry", and that reporting on repeatitious "process" is really not news at all? Just ask us the Veterans because that is the lame and sorry story that we get from the news media all the time. Or could it be that the Associated Press actually practices, dare I say it, Discrimination? Is there really such a thing as "equal access to news coverage", and if not, why not? Are U.S. military troops and national post-service Veterans actually discriminated against and locked out of Associated Press news? This is a fair question to know. If we have truly been lied to by the news media, that repitition of process is really a valid headline worthy of their cameras, then perhaps the Associated Press would like to report on all the Advocates and Veterans who travelled to Washington to expose the horrors and corruption inside the VA agency to the Veterans Disability Commission? Show me one single time that the Associated Press was there to cover us! They were MIA. Or how about the all-out missing Associated Press when it came to covering the REAL news when hundreds of women Army Veterans from Fort McClellan Alabama were shuttling themselves from one address to another throughout Washington trying to find somebody with a brain to come and help us in our pursuits for medical justice? Again they were MIA. The truth is, the same people in a very repititious and boring kind of way, do access the Associated Press, time and time again, year in and year out, for the same news, different day either from Jackson or Sharpton. At the same time, the same other group namely the Veterans are repititiously locked out of all access to news coverage and having their stories told. H-m-m-m-m, YUP it really does sound like a touch of Hanoi, now doesn't it? Even more stunning is their news is not exactly even TRUE at times, but like the Robo-Press Parrot Head that the Associated Press really is, it never really seems to occur to the AP reporters that at times, truth really does count in a story. Consider a nonsense march that Sharpton and Jackson tried to hold in the past year down in New Orleans. As soon as AP cameras were put onto these 2 Do-Do's to nowhere, here it comes out of Al Sharpton's stupid mouth that the United States government actually deliberately blew up the broken levi's of New Orleans to cause a flood in the city. Dumb and out of touch and not a shred of proof anywhere but there it made national news. The AP microphones were never turned off. More recently and again at New Orleans, was another march and rally to nowhere, this time suggesting a new government conspiracy to keep the residents unnecessarily out of the Public Housing Authority building even though the building was scheduled for full demolition. Yes dumb and loud, say it proud, there too were the Associated Press cameras even though it is widely known that both mold contamination and PCB contamination crawls up the interiors of sidewall spaces regardless of the number of floors between apartments in a building. Perhaps the Associated Press could have given the marchers a clue that they were marching against for the right to die with contamination certainty. Now here we all have it, back to the Same Ole in Washington, Rev. Jackson telling the Associated Press cameras that he is now a new founded celebrity since the public now "accepts" his position of the anti-war movement. And out of the exiled closet comes actress Jane Fonda to reenact her Vietnam War Hanoi Jane routine much to the chagrin of the Veterans who can still remember the pain from those times gone by. The problem here you see is the Associated Press is just plain dumb in their choices in what is and is not the definition of news. Jane Fonda the has been, Rev. Jesse the nothing-original, and would somebody please shut off the marches so we can find out what really happened to poor Barbaro?? At any given time, the Associated Press could have, and even should have given adequate reporting and news coverage video time to the many rational, truthful, and wholly verified Veterans who would have been more than glad to provide them with the next lead news story of the day, exposing the internal horrors of the VA agency. These would be lead news stories of duration and subtsance which would attrack even a non-Veteran audience and boost with certainty national news sales to an all time high. But instead, we get the dumb, the repeated, the overexposed, the now uninteresting, and the no longer unusual events of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton holding yet another one of their "cottage industry" marches and rallies, this time on opposition to the war in Iraq, and not to be confused with those "other" marches and rallies such as a million Black men, or the let's all do it just because the national Mall is there march and rally. What is plain to Veterans who follow the news over long periods of time is that the news really ISN'T anymore, but instead, the news really is the Democrat Party in a newspaper format. Somebody please tell the Associated Press and Jesse Jackson to put a sock in it, because we are bored out of our minds with rallies and marches to nowhere based on causes which can only be solved by a fixed and repaired foreign policy which Democrats helped to break.
