It's all about Sunday Morning

This past Sunday, my future hubby and I, were eating breakfast watching Sunday Morning on CBS. There was a story rolling that caught our attention, and immediately after the story Charles Osgood began the all-to-familiar MJ story line. I wanted to throw my coffee at the TV, until the footage rolled...

I went from anger to tears in about 3 seconds flat. Ruined my breakfast for a moment, but that's OK. My plight was heard, either directly or indirectly, or simply because i am not the only person in America tired of hearing the MJ bullshit.

I am so happy that Sunday Morning ran this story and in the manner that they did. I just wish the nightly news would follow suit.

Look, I understand War is scary and depressing, and most of the tree hugging Americans don't want to hear about violence and bloodshed, but it doesn't take away from the fact that there are soldiers from all countries, not just ours, dying everyday to fight for the freedoms of normal people all across the world!

Everyone trashed GWB for the war in Iraq, but yet we are still there under the new Messiah's administration, and now we are moving on to other countries as well. Is it right? God only knows, but what isn't right is the fact that our media chooses to only air bad things about the war (if anything at all these days).

I have had friends come and go from Iraq, as many people have in the last 9 years. I have one headed back for his 3rd tour. For those of them that were able to have PC access when not running convoy missions, they posted about their experiences and even posted pictures. It's not all bad! We are doing great things in those countries for the law abiding citizens and children. We aren't just walking in there guns blazing and maliciously killing innocents! but you hear nothing of that.

That's because of the media's malicious hatred for our former Commander in Chief. So much so that they can't even put their tails between their legs and report the good things we are doing, or maybe taking 1 day out of the week, at the least, to celebrate the lives of those lost in combat. It's a sad state of affairs when people rather hear about some celebrity, or sports figure, than to hear about a fellow tax paying citizen that has the balls to go and put his/her life in harms way. To take a member of the family unit out and leave their loved ones with the possibility every single day that they may not return home. How sad is that!!!!?

Then there's the analysts, gotta love them, posting polls and surveys on the news about how the racial component comes into play for the entire MJ circus. Blacks are more celebratory of MJ's life and mourning his passing blah blah blah, and whites are angry about the coverage. This came from a black female analyst, which based on her ramblings, is a racist herself. That is why racism will never die, but i can give this woman a clear - street value- explanation. The ghettofabs do nothing but live to be sports players or entertainers. It's what they know and what they follow. It gives them something to focus on other than getting a job and not living off of the feds. One of their HUGE entertainers died.. omg it's a travesty. You took their Elvis away. If he was white? well he kind of was, but that's neither here nor there, they wouldn't have been paying any attention at all. It's their culture. Doesn't make them bad people, it's just their choice.

My choice is to want to hear about the war, the soldiers, etc. One or two days of coverage for MJ would have been enough. Then a nice broadcast on his history and blah blah.. The media made a circus out of someone whom already was living the circus lifestyle. I don't even think former entertainer and President Ronald Reagan had this much coverage. So sorry if my hatred portrays me as a racist, but there are more important things in life.

Now that the circus has moved on, and LA is left to pay for Jacko's funeral with money they DON'T have, maybe just maybe the news will hear all of our bitching and run some stories about our soldiers. Well, we can only hope and pray.
