Just a question (a bit of an experiment), has the news of the use of Napalm on Fallujah by the US military reached American news waves yet?
- Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.
<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Beyond obvious? Elaborate, please. And I think al Qaeda would still have power because they kill people. Do you seriously expect a news organization to ignore a video from the world's most notorious terrorist organization?</div>
<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>When are they afraid to print negative news on anyone? And notice I said "aqequately." That is, the press should have been more skeptical of the administration's claims; that's their job.</div>
<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>That is what i was saying, they arent afraid to print negative news SO if the napalm crap that started this tangent is actual fact then you think you would see it in our papers as opposed to a few measly websites where people like Zeus and Seek take it for fact already.</div>
<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>You dont just think these tapes and interviews surface out of nowhere, right? The correspondants for that network defenitely have friends/acquaintances that are terrorists, if you sit there and tell me you dont think they do then you are lying to my face. I think there was something last year about one of them getting arrested for it... in Spain. Why in Spain, because the rest of the middle east doesnt give a crap if there are ties or not, it isnt like the terrorists are killing their people. For some reason they are more than happy to let Al Jazeera get its news from anywhere it pleases.
Our media is just as guilty at stirring the pot, sometimes. There wasnt any good enough reason to show footage of the torture or of the marine who shot the guy in the mosque, all it did was stir emotions and put our troops in even more harm. Can it be reported on without the footage? Of course it can, but the media doesnt care about the consequences. It knows what will happen when they air things like that, any reasonable person does, but it does it anyway because they are all dickheads.
"We're just doing our jobs." is the fallback, but i didnt know that getting our troops killed was their job. Put aside the fact that the media is liberal and you are, too. You arent just as outraged at the crap they pull?
Yes, i have strong feelings toward the elite media. I cant help it, but it developed just by seeing what goes on. I wasnt brainwashed this way, i have formed my opinion by common sense thinking.</div>

Your faith in the system is EXACTLY what the politicians (on both sides) count on. If you think the American media is on the ball, you're in dreamy dreamland</div>
