Why Didn't the Media Report This?


Please comment on this topic I read in a recent email sent to me:
Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio,Texas (BAMC) the other day. Thisis where soldiers who have been evacuated from
Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States, especially burn victims. There are some buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled most of the time. While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his check book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.

The question posed is, why do Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn, and other Hollywood types make front page news with their [causes against the war]and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio?

Thats really not important that Mr. Washington didnt get first page. I mean what he did was for his personal; enjoyment not for the reconision. I'm sure he is just glad that he had a chance to help those that cant help them selves. Well now we know that his a great a person as he is a actor good job Mr. Washington
