Newspapers. Perfect for shredding. Prefect for packaging. Perfect for the kitty litter box.:grin:

I stopped buying the two local papers awhile ago. Since I can get the local TV listings online, I don’t even need the Sunday paper anymore.

The St. Pete Times and the Tampa Tribune both hew to the left. The Times more so. I put up with it through the Clinton years, but dropped them during the 2000 elections. Why pay to read the same lies over and over?

The same holds for broadcast news. While I could afford cable, I watched FOX, and sometimes CNN headlines. I don’t miss the news anymore. There’s plenty online and on the radio.

Destroying the morale of the troops is the leftist goal which they used affectively in Vietnam. What the leftists want is an ever increasing number of disaffected military returning to help spread their defeatist propaganda. e.g. John Kerry and his cohorts

Liberals Support the Troops

The Washington Times has an article today detailing concerns top brass have about the effect that the constant drumbeat of negativity about the mission in Iraq here at home has had on troop morale.

The left yelled that Iraq would be another Vietnam, and they were right in only one respect: That of the same left attempting to make us lose the war here at home.

They saw that the tactic worked once before, so they’re using the same strategy again.

I’m sure that this coverage is also having a devastating effect on the morale of Iraqi troops & police, who must be concerned about the prospect being abandoned to face the wrath of Baathists and terrorists.

I really think everyone who has newspaper subscriptions needs to examine their conscience about continuing to support these organizations.

You asked for the evidence Brian. There’s the evidence.
