Lamestream Media Over the last several days we have seen the biased Whitehouse lead media coverage of the downing of flight 17 in Eastern Ukraine. LET ME GET ONE THING STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU JUMP ON MY SHIT! I am NOT taking sides on WHO shot the plane down or what happened. It is a horrible tragedy and loss of life. What I intend to rectify is the notion the local citizens tried to deliberately cover up, hinder, and maliciously desecrate the remains of the victims, preventing the speedy recovery and repatriation to their respective homelands. Our media's talking head morons act like the wreckage of the ill-fated flight came down nicely into Central Park, the Mall in DC or suburbia LA. That wreckage and 300 bodies were STREWN OVER HALF A RURAL COUNTY out in the hinterlands of Eastern Ukraine an area much like Iowa, Nebraska, or the Dakotas! IF that were to happen to us out in this area WITHOUT the aid of the Federal government (fat assed guys wearing sunglasses and suits driving black Yukons) WE WOULD BE SWAMPED BEYOND OUR ABILITIES! Think about it for a sec...... No Federal help.. Just about 25 cops a handful of National Guards (those guys totting guns) to try and guard, clean up, and gather the remains of the victims for appropriate "storage" all the while heckled by reporters who want the grizzly photos and misinformation to send back to their respective propaganda outlets. YES they had to resort to four refrigerated train boxcars. It's the best they could come up with. Our hospitals and funeral parlors locally could not even handle 50 all at one time much less 300. Give the local Eastern Ukrainian FARMERS and Citizens some credit. They VOLUNTEERED their time and efforts to respectfully gather up the maimed bodies in a war zone for the grieving families. They had NO preconceived agenda theirs was selfless acts of kindness. It would take 10 persons a whole day sun up to sun down to effectively cover a mere 400 acres of farm ground. The wreckage fell into tall sunflower and corn fields. not a nicely manicured GOLF COURSE which our media "experts" only have a grasp of. For those who have NEVER been out in a field this IS what it is like. I am 5' 10" tall probably considered an average height. that is my view forward (East) A view turning south now looking west back behind me. Now North A full 360 degree view in a corn field which is easy compared to a field of sunflowers. Looking down toward the ground you only have a view of 10' to 14' at the very best. Most of the time there is NOT a clear field of vision. To be quite honest, without the propaganda machine's pompous 20/20 hindsight while seated in a nice air conditioned office on the 28th floor of a high-rise, I'd say those wonderful rural Ukrainian farmers, citizens, and caring souls did a miraculous job of gathering up the mortal remains to return to the bereaved families. It would be so nice if our lamestream media could return to the days of decent journalism of Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow where we were given the facts in our news not the politically slanted sensationalism of todays media outlets. |

How true, saw some footage of wreckage in wheat too and of the folks walking through all you could see is the heads bobbing up and down. Now Bret you know the media is on the East coast & Left coast and they are soooo much smarter than us out here in the hinderland. We just cling to our guns and religion.

We as basic citizens with a mind have to look through the propaganda to those basic citizens of the other side and stop the foolishness of our governments for our own survival.

The polarized media needs to be broken on BOTH sides to access the truth of these matters.

We as a people must begin by turning OFF the rhetoric of our il- informed media and begin making our GOVERNMENTS respond to OUR hopes, dreams and desires Not their political adventures. Just today Putin has made a 180 with his government. Now it is time we force ours to tone it down and try to work out a peaceful way from this brink of disaster so that those who died on M A 17 was not in vain but as a source of focused dialogue for peace.

The TWAT was merely reading from a script provided by some flunky at the Whitehouse. We all seen that bent twisted garbage spewn at us not to inform us but to enrage and coercing us into the governments jack boot strategy of moral indignation. Just last week those "nasty" Germans helped dig up a downed B17 returning the remains of an Iowan lost over 70 years ago on a mission to bomb them. There are human beings out there who go about their lives caring, sharing, and giving of their time and recourses without any hope of personal reward. These are the ones we need to connect with and begin to disenfranchise those in power of our media and respective governments.

I stated in the very first paragraph that the culpability factor was off the table. Whether a ground based missile by the rebels or the Kiev based military plane flying a few miles away at the same altitude was not in the equation. The territory is currently held by the rebel forces and I for one can understand not letting their enemies just bop in for a photo op. I don't think the Japs allowed too many military observers into Hiroshima or Nagasaki in 1945. My point was based on the concept that the locals did the very best that they could, under the current circumstances in returning the remains from a remote area and getting them in route home through enemy lines. Our media has conjured up a villainous and fiendish plot whereby they deliberately were withholding the remains when in reality the normal system has been broken down. The locals stretched beyond their capabilities to respond in a manner to satisfy all the parties petty whims and desires.

Jack Refocus and re-read. I stated I did not care who shot it down. Pictures can be fabricated just like John Kerry's appearance in front of the senate purporting 1000's of dead Syrians Gas victims and the USA needing to get involved. Only to find out the pics our Very TOP Secretary of State used had been taken years earlier in Iraq by a British Photo Journalist. I am NOT buying into the claims of stacks of evidence on M A 17 while we seem to have zero on M A 370. Our government and media have cooperated to fabric propaganda given to us as NEWS. Slanted biased and now looming beyond credibility. I don't see international nor Communist China placing demands on Taiwan's current plane crash for investigative privileges either. The Eastern Ukraine rebel faction has a degree of autonomy the same as Canada or the USA and they may choose to allow or disallow whoever they wish for investigative or reporting purposes. We may not like it or agree with the reasoning behind it is their sovereign right while they still hold the ground.

The locals were covering up their culpability by removing or altering evidence ... period ********************* Their is NOT one shred of hard evidence that any tampering has occurred. Merely unfounded conjecture purported by a frenzied media and an il-informed government. The "black boxes" had not even been recovered as yet. All of the flight data recorders were handed over. I know that the Eastern Ukrainians have thoroughly examined them and photos taken so that any tampering by the Kiev based government will also be noticed. Neither side is to be trusted, but we must understand, those flight recorders are NOT going to say any more than massive internal system failures brought the plane down. Those that think the flight recorders are going to reveal some deep dark secrets are being mis-lead. Those who are looking for the Barack is Kenyan--Putin Pulled the Trigger or There was a guy on the Grassy Knoll will be deeply disappointed.

These are the average Joe Sixpack guys who took time off from work to walk the fields searching for the bodies to send home. Doesn't look like the armed vigilantes our media has suggested

The sadness and grief of the local citizens over the atrocities of war. These are not criminals. They are the friends and neighbors caught up in a maelstrom of political, military, and media intrigue.
