Like I said before...Fox News...fair and balanced.......my friends son in Iraq said Fox News gives the closest to what is really going on over there.....now, to our lib friends here in YA...I realize that you don't think Fox is fair because they give a closer account of actual news and don't toe the line for you like the other news networks....but when you grow up, you'll realize the world doesn't revolve around only you..and you don't get your way all the time...and some bully will come along and tell the truth which will go against your perceived reality.....but that's ok..you'll be alright.

DUH!!
Normally S.E.A.L.S. or other S.F. Types abhor publicity, it seriously limits their use as clandestine soldiers when their face has been splashed all over the newspapers and t.v. net works.
Even some of them killed in the line of duty never rate a mention or any comments on what and where they were doing at the time of their death.

I watched it on Fox news, of course the other stations would not show this as his Mom and Dad were very proud of their son and his Conservative values.
