Yellow Journalism Makes a Comeback

I believe you. I daresay the majority of the readers of this blog believe you. The point is this: can you forcibly get the LA Times to believe you, to the point of printing your reply in their paper? Go for it! The pen is mightier than the sword ! (Well, actually I like to have both at my right hand...) If fact I'd be delighted if every reader of this blog bombarded the LA Times with objections, repeated objections to their smeary sort of writings. Any soldiers out there up to that challenge?

Is there any chance that this could be due to an ignorance of how military enlistment contracts work? I mean, I bet you that all the major newspapers probably have half a dozen veterans between them, and that's including guys that drive delivery trucks.

I don't think the newspaper types are saints - far from it, I think they're seditious bastards. I also think they're simply unaware of what the deal is.

-too bad the CIC won't step up to the plate and say the same thing, or Rumsfeld,huh? Until then, match the numbers of your readership to the numbers of the LA Times and the reality of perception goes to the Times hands down. This administration has consistenly allowed the media to piss all over them - no wonder they stink and the problem of being pissed all over in this manner in this particular case is this: once it gets washed off the tax paying Public will realize that the jihadis beat the politicians in the field and in the media.

Given how many times both the LAT and the NYT have run pictures with captions that identify enlisted men/women in uniform as officers, I suspect that their editoriol/journalistic staff includes zero military experience.

Regardless, ANY research could have provided them with correct information. Say, ask a recruiter, or even any current or former member of the military. This makes it obvious that once again they are writing stories to make a political point and truthfulness is irrelevant.

I would not give any of those editors or writers for the MSM any slack whatsoever, forgiving them for a misunderstanding on how the military works. The template is to denigrate the military in any form possible and if they "mis-speak the truth" -- aka lie -- to achieve their goals, then all the better, the truth be damned. They know exactly what they are doing. Anti-military and Anti-America is all the same. Hatred blinds them to the truth and the truth is what suffers.

The more we point these things out, the sooner they will either save themselves from oblicion or go out of business because no one will listen to them anymore.

Do you remember what we did to the fauxtography from Reuters that was being pushed as truth? We can do the same thing to LAT and NYT if they continue to give us a target rich environment.

Keep your radar on.

The "involuntary" line is accurate to a degree. Where an individual reservist is concerned, were he to pick up the phone and ask to be called to active duty, or if the MILPERS to ask if he would like to be called, then it is voluntary. Lots of IRRs and other reservists have to wait for it to be mandatory, however, and for good reason. The protections of the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act don't apply unless you are ordered to active duty involuntarily. If I were to volunteer, my employer would be under no obligation to continue to employ me. If I'm recalled involuntarily, my employer must hold my position or a similar one for me while I'm gone.

I firmly believe that the MSM knows exactly how the military contracts work and is simply spining the facts to suit its agenda - to hurt this President.

As all are saying here, the media has NO clue about anything military. The managing editor of our local rag WAS USN enlisted, for four years. But, the local TV stations have no clue. And since that editor retired, there is not even a hint of accuracy in their stories. They get their tales from AP, or Rueters, or wherever else that will cause the most stirring of public opinion.
My wife has to keep reminding me not to get so worked up over these ignoramus'. "After all, sensationalism is what sells their product." But, they don't seem to know, or care, the harm they are causing our troops both stateside, and where it counts, on the battlefield.

The problem with not getting worked up over their sensationalism is that they will continue to push the envelope...and say what they want and slant their "reporting" to fit their agendas and biased opinions.

There are too many sheeple in this world who believe everything they read/see/hear and don't care to take the time to do a bit of independent reading. Or change the channel for a different POV.

I wish-wish-wish Congress would do something to curb this sort of irresponsible journalism that's been going on for the last twelve years.

But how can you, when Ted Kennedy's group is lining their pockets?

John, you claim this is "a time where recruiting goals are consistently being met and exceeded." Are you on Army active duty right now? I am and I can sure tell you that while the 'goals' may perhaps be met, but the true NEEDS are not. Let me put it this way: Recruiters' goals across the country are to sign up 7,000 new soldiers for active duty Army. They meet this goal. Hooray, hooah. But don't break out the bubbly; the active duty Army needs 18,000 new soldiers just to break even. So that goal meant squat. Have you seen the new soldiers coming in? I give them credit for enlisting when the rest of the country isn't, but the drill cadre are obviously circle x-ing a majority of them, and expect us to deploy with cherry turds. I've also seen numerous soldiers from SPC to 1SG get stop-lossed, many were to ETS BEFORE they packed their A bags. I know of one who was TWO DAYS away from signing out at battalion. He'd done OIF 1 with 4th ID and OIF 4 with the 101st. Cleared CIF, got hit with stop-loss. He'll probably lose his wife and home over the next fifteen months. There are also numerous soldiers being involuntarily recalled from their civilian lives and sent to augment deploying units that can barely go over at 75% strength. But hey, they signed up for it, right? I'm not comparing the soldiers I know to MAJ Dick Winters, 2/506th, but the Army tried to recall him after his 3 plus years in WW2 for the Korean War. He told the Army 'No Thank You.' In short, if recruiting is doing so well, why are soldiers still stop-lossed and IRR recalled? It aint' about "unit cohesion," which is newspeak for bullshit explanation. So if you think that everything is hunky-dory in the Army right now you ought to be forced to take a piss test because that is some POWERFULLY dellusional ganja you're toking.
