"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."
Regardless of how one feels about war I believe it to be inhuman to not appreciate the sacrifice made. That's all I have to say about Memorial Day.
The news channels can flap their lips about whatever- they're becoming more irrelevant by the day. That is why everyone is using click bait and fake news stories to get people to pay attention. They know they are dying a slow and painful death and have been since the 80's when the first corporation bought a network and ratings became more important than actual news.

What did you expect from the Clinton News Network.
Anything that makes Trump look good is off their agenda.

You're being forced to watch CNN? That's a shame.

Uh huh...as the multi deferment commander in chief honors the fallen.

Quote:FOX News headline:
Trump honors America's fallen heroes
in Memorial Day Address
CNN Headline:
Tiger Woods Booked
So, Trump honors fallen heroes but he doesn't like those that have been captured during war? I'd think he'd dislike those that have been killed even more than he dislikes those that were captured.

I gave up on cable news all of it FOX included. It's all worthless banter and no real news anymore.

Every president places a wreath on The Tomb of the Unknown shoulder every Memorial Day, and most give speeches. It's only news when the agenda is to show doubters the President can actually look Presidential.

Honey, he's been more Presidential than the last one was in all his eight years.
Sorry that triggers you so, but it is what it is.

You're reading this thread and conclude I'm the one being triggered?
How do you continue to get fresh air inside your bubble?

I wonder if a similar comparison could be done with the terrorist attack here in Portland between left and right wing media. I'm wagering it would be similarly slanted. Why won't they just say radical white wing extremism?

It could.
But apparently some folks can't comprehend how you can be both a white supremacist and a Bernie backer at the same time.
Racism (and mental illness) doesn't have a political party.

No, you just have to be honest. If he's a Bernie backer, don't imply he supports the President. If it's islamic terror then that's what it is. If it's a white supremacist, then that's what it is. If he's also mentally ill, then that's what it is as well.
Truth isn't hard. Honesty isn't hard.
But some don't choose that route.
And since we're talking honesty, no one ever said being honest will end the tragedies, either.
