Any further right and they'll be on the left...

John issued a challenge to everyone to find examples of Fox's right wing slanted coverage of... well, everything, it would seem. There's a great compilation of some of the more extreme instances of this practice here.

Meanwhile, the list of fall guys in the Army Hospital Scandal keeps growing. I guess when a step like this is taken, our fearless leaders feel they have earned the latitude to go forward with a plan like this. I hate to think what the men and women in the military are feeling about the treatment they're getting from the government of the country they are serving to defend and protect. You have to think that they can only take so much mistreatment before something gives. With things progressing as they are, there's going to be another generation of neglected, misunderstood, angry veterans with nowhere to turn. What will happen when they decide to take matters into their own hands and make a statement of some sort to call attention to the shortcomings of the government that they fought for which has since turned its back on them? We saw what happened when Timothy McVeigh's frustration with our government boiled over after our last excursion into Iraq...

Some resources that are providing support to veterans and those currently serving can be found here, here, here, and here.
