I just heard a news report (network news, ABC I think)on a conservative radio station reporting the failure of the anti-missile test today. (yesterday?)

What struck me is that after announcing the failure, a Russian spokesman was quoted denouncing the test and the Russian and Chinese position against America's attempt to find some safety from missile attack was stated.

No other opinion or information was given.

The leftist tilt of the media has been obvious for years. I am, however, shocked that they feel safe being this blatant about their anti-American advocacy.

“Well, my parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party. That was helpful. I grew up in the early cold-war period. And I grew up in a community that was part of a vast international conspiracy, just as the anti-Communists said it was. It was orchestrated from Moscow, funded by the Kremlin and it had treason in its heart”

I too noted an odd tinge of glee in the reporting of the failed missle test.

The failure itself is nothing to fret about. This is extremely high-tech stuff and success never comes without effort such as this.

I view this issue as no different than a BP vest...and who is against anyone wearing one?
