1st off, the comment as posted DOES NOT SAY SHE WAS ON A TRIP WITH McCAIN – it says “say was covering a recent trip of McCain”.

Second, I would take the word of a 2nd grader before believing Maartha Raddatz stroy on anything. The name of her world is DISTORTION and in this case for the benefit of the Media Messiah Obama.

I still cannot know for sure if the story is entirely true, SNOPES does not say it is false, they say it is undetermined.

I have asked WATCHDOG for his proof but thus far nothing!

Thanx for posting

My son who is an active Marine in Iraq said that particular propensity hasn’t changed much. The Democratic Party is still viewed as a party of traitors and has little support from the people in the military.
As for bias in the media, I can also say when I was there and later read the media’s account of what occurred virtually always the facts were misrepresented in a way that supported liberal view. Often the facts were so badly misrepresented to be barely identifiable to what actually occurred. I really don’t think this is a debatable point.

As for this particular incident, it may or may not be true. It rings true to form.

“Having been the recent recipient of an attack of “internet vandalism” I did what any respectable blogger would do and verified the story from both sides. Last week I received an e-mail piece from a military friend that is going around on the web attacking Martha Raddatz, the White House Correspondent for ABC. I happen to know her personally, since we met in Baghdad, Iraq in 2005. I immediately contacted her for her version on the e-mail I received. The e-mail in question is listed below:

{Same as posted above}

The problem with the e-mail is it is not true. Ms. Raddatz was in Iraq at that time, but was traveling with Vice President Dick Cheney not Senator John McCain. She totally refutes speaking to 60 GI’s, and I believe her. I have found Martha to be a staunch supported of our military while she was ABC’s Pentagon Reporter and in her new role at the White House. She asks tough questions but is fair in her dealings with the Administration, unlike CBS or NBC.

It just goes to show you how fast a bogus story can travel thanks to this new media.”
