More ridiculous media overkill (at least in my opinion)
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 05:37 PM by Bluzmann57
As I'm sure most people know by now, Michael Jordan's brother has been deployed to Iraq. He has asked that his hitch in the U.S. Army be extended by one year. Now I ask you, why is this any more signifigant than any other man or woman who is either coming home or going over? Michael Jordan was a great basketball player, but that's all he was, a basketball player. The media in this country is so obssessed with celebrity and near celebrity that something like this turns into a major news story. In 1991, he (Michael Jordan) refused to meet with bush 1 at the White House as league champions often do. I think he may be a Democrat, so why isn't that mentioned? No, the media whores concentrate solely on the brother of a famous man is going to Iraq. When will it all stop?! Wake up media whores! You want a blockbuster story? Look inside the White House. There are dozens there. Fraud, coverups, treasonous acts, illegal wars, etc. etc. I will provide a link to this story, even though its somewhat old news now. www.cnn.com/2004/US/11/29/jordans.brother/index.html
on edit-the above link doesn't work correctly. Just go to cnn.com and you can link up there.
