Well isn't this just wonderful?  My guess is that military personnel are finally reporting it more since they think they will have some recourse if reporting.  Perhaps they won't be TARGETED for abuse, kicked out or retailiated against.  I guess only time will tell...

Watch the nightly news tonight--any network.  (No, FOX might put it up at 3 in the morning).   My guess,  is it will be the lead story.  If it is, IT IS POLITICAL, if it is somewhere in the middle, it is political.  If it is at the tailend of the 1/2 hour, then you can call it NON-POLITICAL and I will stand corrected.

I see, so if a leftist news agency reports it, it's political?
Not everything is political, no matter how bad the left wants to use it as a wedge issue. Get over it!

I have a question for PT. What is your point for posting this?

I'll presume this board is about 60 years of age (or above).  Funny, how our moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers--north or south, east or west DIDN'T view the 3 networks as COMMIE conspiracists and mouthpieces. 

Anyone remember APOLLO 13??  The astronauts all gather in front of the console TV to watch the moon landing and say in unison, "put on Walter".   (You know, I'm betting 'OPIE' got that little detail right).

Very simple!  It was on 3 NEWS SITES I opened this morning.  News is political/political is news.  Call me crazy that way.

Which scandal??  Birth certificates??  Benghazi?  Healthcare computer screw ups??  NSAgate???

1 is a wholly made up LIE.  1 is a very sad tragic incident in VIOLENT upheaval which NONE OF US WILL EVER know since we have ZERO idea who was running that show (it if was a CIA operation, God probably doesn't even know).  1 is a program rollout, no better no worse than the many program rollouts of the past (MEDICARE WAS SUPPOSED TO END THE AMERICAN SOCIETY according to naysayers)  1 is an extension of a bad program  handed off in all its layers of BUREACRACY and PARANOID MINDSET enabled by incomprehensible TECHNOLOGY capability. A BUSH created scandal, passed on to OBAMA.  And I, nor anyone on this board, knows whether he could have said just said NO!

Just what part of 3 networks that I posted did you NOT understand???

DIDN'T view the 3 networks as COMMIE conspiracists and mouthpieces. 

PS Actually, there were 4.  PBS came on the scene later but still over 40+ years ago.

Yet everything that happened during Bush's term was blamed on him, even shit the Dem run Congress screwed up.
And yes, your messiah is the POTUS and if he were an actual leader, he'd know what was happening, just like when the NSA tapped his phone calls with Merkel.

Now think about that for a moment, (smartest man in Washington)  the NSA knowingly recorded his conversation with the head of another state, yet no one was fired, so ask yourself, did he know, and if not, why are they still doing it?

The answer is, everything that's going on right now, has his and Jarrett's print s all over it.

What is your point, that the big 3 only recently became communist mouth pieces?
And yeah, pBS is nothing but an extension of the Dim party, (Socialist party) or are you going to deny that as well?
