Twisting the News
« on: June 22, 2008, 07:53:57 PM »
I received this from the father of the lady in the article.  If this isn't the media twisting the news, I don't know what is.

Twisting the news

    My niece, Katelyn, stationed at Baluud , Iraq was assigned, with others of her detachment, to be escort/guard/watcher for Martha Raddatz of ABC News as she covered John McCain's recent trip to Iraq.
    Katelyn and her Captain stood directly behind Raddatz as she queried GI's walking past. They kept count of the GI's and you should remember these numbers. She asked 60 GI's who they planned to vote for in November. 54 said John McCain, 4 for Obama and 2  for Hillary.
    Katelyn called home and told her Mom and Dad to watch ABC news the next night because she was standing directly behind Raddatz and maybe they'd see her on TV. Mom and Dad of course, called and emailed all the kinfolk to watch the newscast and maybe see Katelyn.
    Well, of course, we all watched and what we saw wasn't a glimpse of Katelyn, but got a hell' of a view of skewed news.
After a dissertation on McCain's trip and speech, ABC showed 5 GI's being asked by Raddatz how they were going to vote in November;
    3 for Obama and 2 for Clinton . No mention of the 54 for McCain.

By 2 headed monster, If you mean the media and socialist Democrats, I agree with you.  LOL.
