News Media

This is something I've had on my mind for sometime.I was angered when the news media compared the Japanese Kamakazie to the 9,11 hyjackers. To use A plane as A weapon yes ,but this is where the comparison ends. The Kamakazie were flying against other men shooting back at them. When the meth problem hit America they reported about the nazi methodin making it.I had one person tell me that why they fought so hard. I just shook my head in disbelief. They had A sense of duty which drove them on,not drugs.Benzdrine was A legitiment pharmaceutical drug during the war. I found this to be A fact in A War Department basic Field manual " First Aid For Soldiers" April,7 1943.On page 105 it says (Benzedrine Tablets,For extreme mental fatigue take one tablet. The news media reports half of the truth most of the time Im a stongly belive in freedom of the press but its wrong to disort history!

Ah, but wouldn't it be nice if the jackasses writing the stories for the various media actually did some research into what they were writing about?

Unfortunately, not all journalists do as much homework as they should...
