Patrick Kennedy Rails: Media Doing ‘Despicable’ Job Covering Afghanistan

"You want to know why the American public is fit? They're fit because they're not seeing their Congress do the work that they're sent to do. It's because the press, the press of the United States is not covering the most significant issue of national importance and that's the laying of lives down in the nation for the service of our country. It's despicable, the national press corps right now."

BRAVO Patrick!

This is how the prostitute media does a cover-up of what their paymasters don’t want the US public to know.

Shut the fu** up you drunken idiot liberal. I find it ironic how liberals alway’s use the “caring of those in harms way.” But have no sympothy for the murdered unborn children. HYPOCRITS THEY ARE!!

By the way, Kennedy is correct here.

I submit that Afghanistan and the Taliban is not the biggest threat we face – not even close. The biggest threat the country faces today is unsustainable deficit spending, immense national debt, the impending collapse of the dollar, hyperinflation, and the civil unrest that will no doubt follow.

edword   March 10th, 2010 - 7:23 pm

Regadless–he is correct. Funny how I seem to recall daily body counts, body count totals for the month,
year and to-date duration of the conflict. Oh and the arrivals and unloading of the coffins in Dover, the
close ups of grieving relatives. The reports of collateral damage, weeping villagers, etc.

Yeah the MSM either thinks we are all so incredibly stupid/clueless, or they
just do not care who knows how laughably left-biased they really are.

Actually it is both I am quite certain.

LoneSurvivor   March 10th, 2010 - 7:38 pm

Let me see:

The press/MSM ignored A-stan for 8 yrs during Bush … so why bother now?

When the press/MSM DID cover Iraq they made sure it was in complete propaganda mode for the enemy when they weren’t just keeping body count on our troops.

So, in conclusion, I say keep them out of A-stan. Leave our troops to fight without worrying about how the MSM will lie about them and make them out to be filthy dirty American military monsters. Besides, our guys have far more important things to do than rescue some idiot ‘journalist’ who got their rear nabbed by Al-Q or the Taliban.

Better Kennedy should ask why the press/MSM isn’t covering the actual important stuff the blogs are covering. If the Bush Admin. had done half the stuff this Admin and Congress are doing and trying to do the MSM would have had a full-blown stroke.

Dave, Tn   March 10th, 2010 - 7:40 pm

Poor Patrick Kennedy needs a “Miss Me Yet? Bush sign. Come on Patrick the New York media has nothing to gain by reporting those nasty wars like they did during Bush’s term. Their party is already in control and their banks have all been bailed out. mmmmmmmmm mmmmm mmm I think I’ve become cynical.

Obama must be coming out with a supplemental soon. They always raise hell but calm down once they tack on enough goodies for themselves to the tune of 33% or so.

john   March 10th, 2010 - 7:45 pm

What an idiot, the democrat media is on his side, always has been, will be until they collapse for being just as dishonest.

The best cabinet member Obama has is Robert Gates, holdover from Bush. If not him, would be: Jodie Evans – pink lady leader, or Louis Farrakahn.

Ron   March 10th, 2010 - 8:20 pm

Oh… so now you want to pay attention to the middle east and our soldiers, sailor and airmen. Or could it be “Hey, look at my left hand, because my right one is scribbling up a national health care plan no one wants”

He's Right!   March 10th, 2010 - 8:24 pm

Kennedy is RIGHT ON. Yes, he’s a lib, etc. So? He’s telling the truth! The press should be ashamed for many reasons – and this is a primary reason. The People are fed up. Thanks Pat, for telling it like it is. And shame on those commenters who choose to ignore the issue due to partisan hatred. Stop acting like the Left, and pay attention.

CHECKERS   March 10th, 2010 - 8:27 pm

Could it be that now that Obama owns the Afganistan War due to the Obama initiated “surge”, the mainstream media is covering up the war news to protect the annointed one, Obama, from who they stand to make huge campaign ad fees in future elections. Could it be? Nahhh!

Ann   March 10th, 2010 - 8:31 pm

“they’re not seeing their Congress do the work that they’re sent to do” – He got that part right!

Patrick and his family has had a lot experience concerning “the laying of lives down in the nation for the service of our country.

Pitchfork   March 10th, 2010 - 8:57 pm

Not a Fan of this Disgrace,….BUT….he’s got a point. Where’s Code Pink? Where’s Cindy Sheehan?Where’s all the anti-war protesters in the streets? Where’s the all photo’s of dead Afghani and Pakistani children killed from drone attacks? i’ll tell you where they are. they all magically disappeared the day Obama was sworn in. In fact if you do a little poking around online you’ll find out Code Pink is talking to the Taliban thru the grapevine for the administration…..GO FIGURE.

H2K   March 10th, 2010 - 8:59 pm

All I want to see is consistent coverage. I want to see the military progress – and I think that out of respect for those KIA and their families, we should be made aware of each and every casualty.
The magnification of every negative happening in Iraq during Bush and ignoring anything military during Obama is disgusting.
The media s.u.x. Joe Kennedy s.u.x.

Selective outrage, but he’s right. He just happens to be overlooking the rotten job they’ve done covering every single other subject for the last 30 or 40 years. Obama wouldn’t be president today if they had done their job. Oh well.

He seemed to be rather hyper. Some chemical unbalance perhaps?
When a progressive rants against his ally, the 5th Estate, one has to ask what the ulterior motive is.
He sounded a lot like those Ba’al priests that Elijah chided for shouting so loud. Elijah asked if their gods were deaf. Perhaps Kennedy’s gods are also deaf, or dead.

GJames   March 10th, 2010 - 10:17 pm

I really think all the Kennedys have some sort of defective gene.

Dan   March 10th, 2010 - 10:32 pm

The biggest threat we face today is Obama and his marxist agenda which if passed by cowled Democrats will change this country forever.

Guest   March 10th, 2010 - 10:33 pm

Perhaps he was complimenting the 5th column? “Despicable” may be the goal of the 5th column and Kennedy was simply acknowledging their achievement. A kind of “kudos 5th column for not doing what FoxNews is doing.”

Calvin&Hobbes   March 10th, 2010 - 10:41 pm

Of course the Lame Stream Media is not covering the important issues of the day.

It’s being going on for years and years.

Did Patrick Kennedy just now regain consciousness from a 20 year drinking binge?

Patrick, Patrick. Covering up and manufacturing coverage for the Big Zero is a full time job. Give these guys a break.

FastFacts   March 10th, 2010 - 11:54 pm

He is right that the media goes off on dumb things instead of things that are important. We have important things such as tracking our very corrupt administration and Congress. They seem to cover up for the liberals and democrats and not being bipartisan like they should be.

keitholbermoms   March 11th, 2010 - 12:25 am

I NORMALLY HATE THIS GUY!

But, I have to say the media does treat Obama’s Army much differently then Bush’s Army!! No soldier death tickers, no real stories from the media about the victories we are pulling in.

THE MEDIA IS THE 5TH COLUMN IN AMERICA!

frankly   March 11th, 2010 - 12:25 am

Afghanistan!!!!!!! They do a despicable job of covering the US, let alone something happening in a far away country!

Just one small example. The Dem nominee for President of the US has his college record sealed and no one in the media is the least bit curious as to why. Compare this to GW Bush when the fact the he missed some time in the National Guard 40 years earlier was the lead news story for two solid weeks.

DJ   March 11th, 2010 - 12:45 am

Yeah, Patty! That’s what we asked in .. oh .. 2008 when that same Press was chanting “HopenChange” on the front pages of the Lieberal rags! When they abdicated (still do) their responsibility in asking “Who is this unknown dood with the nonexistant resume, and why should he go from unproven community agitator to the most important position on the planet!”

THIS is the SAME Press that failed to push for YOUR FATHER’S PROSECUTION IN THE DEATH OF MARY JO KOPECHNE!

Go have a few drinks just like dear old dad, Patrick. You’ll slump yourself in a gutter in Georgetown, or make a “waitress sandwich” just like daddy! And after popping a few pills you’ll forget all about your “shock” and “anger at the Press!” L-O-S-E-R!

Sean R.   March 11th, 2010 - 10:23 am

Guys, Patrick Kennedy has a argument, where the hell is coverage about the war in
Afghanistan, oh that’s right, it’s Obama’s war so that mean since it’s Obama’s war, that
means it’s a good war, because it has a “D” on it! All where seeing and hearing is the
Eric Massa story, that story is OLD news and needs to just go away (I didn’t comment on
it and bore myself to death with it, and Massa was being blackmailed by Rahm Emmanuel),
and as one poster on these forums said, where the hell is Code Stink, International Answer,
Cindy Shameham, etc., as I’ve said a few sentences ago, it’s Obama’s war and it’s a good
war.

I don’t care if Pat Kennedy was drunk or stoned on drugs when he made this speech, but
you gotta give the dude some kudos on what he said, and I’ve notice that some of you are
being knee-jerk conservatives & calling the guy every word under the sun, some of you
are behaving and acting like the leftist that normally post here!

+Cloud+   March 11th, 2010 - 2:09 pm

While I don’t care for any political family like the Kennedys… what Patrick said was the truth. The media is derelict in covering the real issues thoroughly. They are silent on the number of deaths in Iraq/Afghanistan, when under Bush they made certain to blast it all over the place every chance they got. Now with Obama, they
are silent. It’s disgusting. Also Congress, the President, and military leaders are derelict in that a solution to wrapping up our stay in Afghanistan seems far away. There’s no strategy. DEFEAT the enemy. That’s what it’s about…not playing war games. When you do that, you play with people’s lives.
