If D-Day Happened Today: How Would The MSM Report it?


I do get email, and sometimes, along with the silly garbage and spam crud: "Do you want a larger penis?" "I have your lottery winnings!" "Get drugs from Canada Cheap!" I find some gems. And this is one I've seen before, so why not use it today?

As the sender notes, I don't know the author of this, but it's well done, in my humble opinion. As to the people who were a part of the real D-Day Invasion, planning, support ... may G_D watch over them and keep their Spirits in His hands. Well done, my Friends, well done!



It is once again the Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion on Normandy. This one is always a great read to remind us of the differences in media coverage between 1944 and today.


How Would the D-Day Invasion be Reported today?
(This is what you would hear if today's media reported on D-Day at Normandy)

(We regret we do not know the author of this piece which was forwarded by a friend. We would give credit if we knew who wrote this.)

June 6, 1944. -NORMANDY- Three hundred French civilians were killed and thousands more wounded today in the first hours of America's invasion of continental Europe. Casualties were heaviest among women and children. Most of the French casualties were the result of artillery fire from American ships attempting to knock out German fortifications prior to the landing of hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops. Reports from a makeshift hospital in the French town of St. Mere Eglise said the carnage was far worse than the French had anticipated and reaction against the American invasion was running high. "We are dying for no reason," said a Frenchman speaking on condition of anonymity. "Americans can't even shoot straight. I never thought I'd say this, but life was better under Adolph Hitler."

The invasion also caused severe environmental damage. American troops, tanks, trucks and machinery destroyed miles of pristine shoreline and thousands of acres of ecologically sensitive wetlands. It was believed that the habitat of the spineless French crab was completely wiped out, threatening the species with extinction. A representative of Greenpeace said his organization, which had tried to stall the invasion for over a year, was appalled at the destruction, but not surprised. "This is just another example of how the military destroys the environment without a second thought," said Christine Moanmore. "And it's all about corporate greed." Contacted at his Manhattan condo, a member of the French government-in-exile who abandoned Paris when Hitler invaded said the invasion was based solely on American financial interests. "Everyone knows that President Roosevelt has ties to big beer," said Pierre LeWimp. "Once the German beer industry is conquered, Roosevelt's beer cronies will control the world market and make a fortune."

Administration supporters said America's aggressive actions were based in part on the assertions of controversial scientist Albert Einstein, who sent a letter to Roosevelt speculating that the Germans were developing a secret weapon, a so-called "atomic bomb." Such a weapon could produce casualties on a scale never seen before and cause environmental damage that could last for thousands of years. Hitler has denied having such a weapon and international inspectors were unable to locate such weapons even after spending two long weekends in Germany. Shortly after the invasion began reports surfaced that German prisoners had been abused by Americans. Mistreatment of Jews by Germans at so-called "concentration camps" has been rumored but so far, remains unproven.

Several thousand Americans died during the first hours of the invasion and French officials are concerned that uncollected corpses pose a public health risk. "The Americans should have planned for this in advance," they said. "It's their mess and we don't intend to clean it up."


Sound about right? Yeah, it does.

Born Again Rednaeck has a good link: "D-Day"

Bookworm has this: "Remembering D-Day"

Rick Moran of Right Wing Nuthouse posts: "A WORD ABOUT COURAGE"

Wretchard at The Belmont Club takes a completely different look at: "The sixth of June"

Were it not for the D-Day Invasion, which led to the unconditional Surrender of the Nazi government of Germany, people like Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and the rest of the America Haters, would be in slave labor camps or dead. A lot of evil Americans died to save people across the ocean. Just like an awful lot died to defeat the Confederate States of America and freed the black slaves. We ain't perfect, but we're better than you concede we are.

G_D Bless America!

Hey bro, people laughed at me, but I've been saying for years now, if we fought WW2 today we would not be allowed to win. There's alot of knuckleheads and worse out there and they seem to keep reproducing, I don't know why.

Because they want to keep the dumb growing!

LOL Benning. You're answer is right on the money!

No, the left will never allow us to win unless they truly believe their lives are at risk, then they'll yell for help louder than anyone. As most conservative bloggers have been saying for years, terrorists would go after them first because of the "if it feels good do it" life style. Blithely sticking their heads in the sand they ignore reality and drag us down with them. It's disgusting!

Thank God that we still have patriots who fight to protect our land and our lives even though they have to know that there are ingrates amongst us. Now, because of the liberal media, they are aware of the ingrates more than ever before, but they still sign up to fight a very dangerous enemy and to keep us free, including the ingrates.

God bless our troops now and all those who fought for us and died for us in the past!
