OUTRAGE - AT 9:10 A.M. ET:  Considering the fact that there's funding in the stimulus package for ACORN, and that we'll be giving foreign aid that inevitably will filter down to groups that hate us, the following, from the Canadian Free Press, is particularly outrageous:

In a fit of hypocrisy sure to outrage, just as Attorney General Eric Holder makes ready to attend a ceremony to honor fallen police officers, the Obama administration is proposing to cut almost in half a program that provides benefits to the future families left behind.

So much for the more loving, more caring president “we’ve been waiting for.” So, wouldn’t you think the Old Media would be braying at the hypocrisy here? Wouldn’t you rather think that the Old Media would be up in arms about this one? Isn’t this typically the type of story that would get them motivated to get their high dudgeon on? Guess not because it is nearly invisible in the media today.

COMMENT:  Don't look for the mainstream media to complain.  They, in general, have pretty much the same attitude toward the police as toward the armed forces - stories about the few rotten apples are preferred to stories of heroism.
