I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

What's Wrong with the Right post of the week

This post from The Left Right Debate debate gets the not so coveted MEJ What's Wrong with the Right award.
This week’s biggest wiener has to be NBC news reporter Kevin Sites who single-handedly managed to ruin the life of a young Marine, interfere with the combat strength of US forces and hand Al Jazeera another bit of propaganda.

Of course, Kevin shares the bun with the producers and other NBC pin-heads who decided to air his video of a Marine shooting an insurgent in the head.

As mentioned in a previous post, this is what happens when a “reporter” stops being an American and starts believing his own hype about serving the “public good.”

There is no bigger “public good” than the success of our military in war, you moron.

Look Kev, maybe if you spent less time worrying about your hair and more time understanding the role of a war correspondent in a combat zone, you wouldn’t be such a wiener.
Loveable Curmudgeon
I don't hear a lot from the Right about those who are being maimed and killed in Iraq for what is going to turn out to be nothing. Not reporting everything that goes on in a war is what governments like the old Soviet Union did. In a Democracy it is rarely in the "public good" to with hold information and this is no exception. As I have said before, I have a great deal of sympathy for this young man because I know that good people do bad things when their government wrongly places them in a bad situation. The fact is, he still has all of his limbs and he still has his life unlike the thousands who join the veterans of the Vietnam war who sacrificed for nothing. That's What's Wrong with the Right.

  1. This is just following standard right wingnut procedure. Anything that will harm our mass deception is evil, so shut up, don't disagree and keep anything we do not want the public to know hidden.
