Media Bias #96
Up In Smoke
An old French documentary on Vietnam War POWs has been released, which includes footage of a young John McCain being interviewed from his prison hospital bed. See the clip here.
The tape shows a young, handsome McCain who relays the story of the crash in terms identical to those he uses today, destroying recent efforts by Leftist revisionists to say his story is a myth. He is both resolute and emotional, describing his injuries matter of factly. His humor shows when he tells the film-makers that he’s treated well, “but it’s not Paris,” and his emotions show when he asks the film-makers to assure his wife he will get better.
The clip brings the war hero to life and replaces the 73 year-old McCain with a guy younger and more handsome than Obama. The timing of the release is perfect. So what’s not to like? Well, says England’s Sky News:
The video portrays the Republican as a hero but the message may be tarnished as he is filmed smoking a cigarette.
I kid you not. Perhaps they’d like to explain how this young fella got so far:
