Media to Watch--or Not

Additional Information:

Interview of the Vice President by Martha Raddatz, ABC News

An AF Colonel Friend of mine forwarded the following email: Thought I'd pass it along to help voters be aware of how the voter is manipulated by the media.

Subject: ABC News - Suspicions confirmed
Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2008 23:33:00 +0000

Just in case you happened to see the ABC
News piece with interviews of 5 military folks
in Iraq -
3 planned to vote for Obama and 2 for Hillary;
no mention of any McCain supporters.


Well, here's the ' Rest of the Story.'
This from Major General (ret) Buckman:

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
heck'uva 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.

If you don't want to forward this
for fear of offending someone...
YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
It is Time for America to Speak up!

This email about me is false. MG Buckman had completely denied authorship. He is upset that people have done this to me and to him. He would very much like you to remove it from your site.
