Salena Zito gets it right
There’s an article in the Hill this morning written by Salena Zito, a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review editorial page columnist, who makes me eat my words the last few days in reference to journalists. Zito writes Blaming the military for police shootings is too easy; Yes, it is likely they [the Baton Rouge and Dallas murderers] made […]
Media and a murderer’s “military skills”
This morning, the Dallas News runs an article about the murderer in that city who killed a half-dozen police officers the other day under the headline “Ousted from Army, Dallas shooter used military skills for murder“.

But, Greta Van Susteren did an interview with Marco Rubio’s older brother, Mario, and the on-screen banner said that he was a Vietnam veteran; Mario Rubio […]
Stolen Valor in the media
I had a nice chat the other day with Joe Hotchkiss of the Augusta Chronicle in regards to stolen valor, what else. Joe wrote a nice opinion piece in the paper yesterday and mentioned us after admitting that his only time in uniform was in the school band. He talks about one of our more […]
