The MSM has largely ignored Gen. Batiste's, Eaton's and Gen. Sanchez' criticism also. The MSM has also ignored what SFTT.org reports to be a completely corrupted body armor procurement process that has allegedly deprived our troops of the best body armor. So much for supporting the troops. The only explanation, other than evil intent, is that the MSM continues to hope for the best and give the administration the benefit of the doubt, despite five years of evidence that the administration is both incompetent and can't be trusted. All that blather about a liberal press has worked to keep the MSM on the side lines. Very sad.
