I just read GoD's post about the mainstream media distorting the story about Trayvon Martin's shooting. I've been watching it on the MSM, and it does seem that they are distorting that story for a hidden agenda.

I've also been watching the story of Robert Bales, the Afghanistan US Army shooter who 'allegedly' killed 16 Afghan civilians. It appears to me that there is something not quite above board with that story as well. It appears that the MSM wants to give SSgt Bales a break. Also, it appears that the Army is not all that willing to prosecute him as well, and they they are acting like they have to do, but would rather not.

The MSM keeps coming out with warm and fuzzy stories about Bales. It also appears that they are trying to create the impression that Bales was a 'lone shooter', and that he killed all these people by himself. The Afghans seem to be saying that there was a whole company of American soldiers conducting this atrocity. You'll get this story on the internet, but not in the MSM.

Bales's lawyer says there is no evidence that Bales did what he is accused of--as if the accusations of the Afghans never happened. The Army whisked him out of Afghanistan almost on the first plane out. Both the MSM and the Army are treating him like a conquering hero, who, under the circumstances got carried away, but who should not be punished, because he was just doing his job--which involves, necessarily, killing people.

What I am watching for is how successfully the MSM and the government are at painting this guy the aberrant hero. Will the American people go along with them, and cheer as the prosecution fumbles and fails? Will Americans buy this conquering hero who 'snapped' image of Bales, and approve of letting him go? Does the only fair trial he can get involve an acquittal? Is all the evidence in this case factual? Do Americans think it's OK for soldiers in Afghanistan to massacre innocent people--especially children? If the vast majority of MSM addicted zombies cheer Bales on as a hero, what does this say about America?

The only good I can see coming from this incident is that Bales's lawyer is putting the whole war in Afghanistan on trial. If this speeds the government's departure from this imperial war for resources, I say all the better. I doubt however that justice will be achieved in this case, or that even the truth will emerge.
