(Pictured) ABC’s Martha Raddatz. So we get a comment from a Dollard Reader, claiming to be a retired Army First Sergeant regarding this report, and he related the following story, which has shown up on Snopes as “Undetermined”…you tell me, Dollard Readers, what’s your take?

From a Dollard Reader “Bud Parker” Retired Army First Sergeant…

My niece, Katelyn, stationed at Baluud, Iraq was assigned, with others of her detachment,to be escort/guard/watcher for Martha Raddatz of ABC News as she covered John McCain’s recent trip to Iraq.

Katelyn and her Captain stood directly behind Raddatz as she queried GI’s walking past. They kept count of the GI’s and you should remember these numbers. She asked 60 GI’s who they planned to vote for in November.

54 said John McCain, 4 for Obama and 2 for Hillary.Katelyn called home and told her Mom and Dad to watch ABC news the next night because she was standing directly behind Raddatz and maybe they’d see her on TV. Mom and Dad of course, called and emailed all the kinfolk to watch the newscast and maybe see Katelyn.

Well, of course, we all watched and what we saw wasn’t a glimpse of Katelyn, but got a hell’uva view of skewed news. After a dissertation on McCain’s trip and speech, ABC showed 5 GI’s being asked by Raddatz how they were going to vote in November…

3 for Obama and 2 for Clinton.

No mention of the 54 for McCain.

Moral of this story: Do not believe ANY Audio, It’s all garbage! Believe ONLY what you witness at an event or happening, then question how they rigged it for slanting!

Bash here: My Grandpa used to put it this way, he’d say “Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see, because most of whatyou see is staged anyway.”
