MEDIA CRITICIZED ARMS THAT ARE WINNING WAR

THE DESERT war is being fought right inside our living rooms. The newspapers and the liberal established TV networks are left out. We're watching the war on CNN. What a breath of fresh air. We're all tired of the liberal media, especially Roanoke's absentee-landlord paper, Dan Rather and others.

The liberal media went all-out to tell the people who loved him (and hated them) that Ronald Reagan was a complete dummy. They never gave him any credit, but they gave their darling, Gorbachev, the peace prize, man of the decade, etc.

R.R. won the Cold War; his high-tech weapons are winning the present war. The media criticized these weapons. They named them Star Wars. Congress bought them, but R.R.'s leadership made us militarily strong again. The media wanted us to remain weak, as we were when he took office.

Have the media admitted that R.R. may have done at least one thing right? Not one word that I have heard. If you think the weapons aren't the way to go, just watch CNN. OLIVER MAJORS WYTHEVILLE
