What ever happened to "good news from Iraq"?

[OzmO]

Didn't we have a big debate about how there never is anyone reporting anything good going in a Iraq and wasn't it the contention fo some that things were getting better in Iraq but the news media (the alleged left media which is really a neotaint way of avoiding the truth) wasn't reporting it?   

I bring this up in light of the numerous explosions in the green zone. 

Ice cream anyone?

hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

those little tricks here said the amusement park was safe.

next day, they took down a bridge and blew up a suicide bomb in the green zone. 

mm69 got really quiet, stopped posting, and egj13 was born the next day.  Luckly, egj knows mm69, and says he's rich and high rank and not a racist.  uh-huh...

Yeah , in all fairness, the egj13 and mm69 thing is silly and far too coincidental. 

The thing that gives them away in my opinion is that mm69 and egj13 both believe that a very small amount of people are born with a homosexual disposition.

I don't care either way...they are both great to talk with.

You'll rarely hear about the good things thanks to the liberal media, you will only hear what they want you to hear. We have murders in LA everyday, it's not going to stop....ever, just like in any part of the world, there will ALWAYS be violence.

Yes, that's right,  we have bombs going off here everyday in the USA at markets and at malls, we also have girls being stoned to death for walking with someone of a "different religious faction".  Not to mention we have bombs going off every time a US dignitary walks around Washington and Soldiers being kidnapped for political reasons.   


That spin of violence is everywhere  is stupid.

No, it's not stupid, you act as if it's going to end, it won't end here and it sure as hell won't end there.

We don't have car bombs going off every in LA, dumbass. By your logic we should and it shouldn't be given any attention by the 'liberal media'.

Are you tired this morning?

Where is this kind of thing going on other than Iraq?


Violence is not going to end.  BUT things like the stuff above can and if BUSH did his job right it would have.   Just like most of the rest of the world.

Now go back to the original assertion.

you don't have to compare iraq to the US.

Compare iraq 2001 to Iraq 2007.

Now while saddam was a prick who did some bad shit in 1979-1985 to quelch all uprisings in his country, I dare you to find any evidence whatsoever that more people died per day on average under saddam than under the current control.

Ya can't.  You can use "he gassed his own people 20 years ago", well, that group tried an uprising and he gassed them all for it (much like many of you call for us to nuke 26 million iraqis - joe, i'm looking at you on this claim, as you have said it's something to consider lol!)

Does, ABC, FOX, Nbc etc... avoid the same stuff?

Yes.

[OzmO]

Yes.

If those other 5 news organizations aren;t reporting that kind of news i would think it indicates the news isn't worthy of reporting in the face of the negative things like bombs killing people there.

"Newsworthy" = what sells, not necessarily what's actually taking place.  I think organizations like CNN have an anti-war, anti-Bush agenda.  Fox isn't doing it's job in reporting all of the news either, but isn't as bad as CNN.  CNN has a picture of a screaming Iraqi on its front page at least once a week.

Fox is worse than CNN.

You only say this cause there are a couple of Bush nuthuggers hanging around Fox...

I mean, they admitted they were supporting the President's plans no matter what after all.

No, I say this because I watch them both and read both web sites everyday and have drawn my own conclusion.

I have also... There's a difference between anti-war and anti-bush and just speaking the truth.

Let me ask you this... Has CNN or any other news service just out and out lied about the war?

That depends.  As I tell my kids, a half truth is a lie.  So, arguably, the fact that all these news organizations, Fox included, don't report all of the news, could mean they are lying about the war. 

I'm really down on CNN regarding its war coverage.  As I said a few posts up, they are constantly putting a picture of a screaming Iraqi on their front page.  But what I rarely see, hear, or read on CNN are some of the stories my buddy just told me about some of the great things our soldiers are doing over there (he just returned from Iraq).

I wouldn't say they are lying, I'd say they are presenting a misleading picture to the public.  My position is they should report all of it, good, bad, ugly.

I don't disagree, but there are a lot of news services out there in the world, and some of them do report the good, but unfortunately, the bad definitely outweighs the good there... I truly believe "that".

But Tu, do you believe "that" because 99 percent the news from Iraq is bad, or because 99 percent of what you hear is bad? 

[240 is Back]

I think organizations like CNN have an anti-war, anti-Bush agenda. 

Yeah, it was nice to see the pro_Bush agenda they all had from 2001 til 2004.

That second obviously fake osama videotape released the night before the 2004 election (you know, the one where Osama told America to vote for Kerry so al quida could win!) was the straw that broke the media's back.  it was so blatently obvious as a scare tactic to get folks to vote bush, that the media finally realized they were being duped and were insulted once too many times.

From that moment on, they didn't trust the white house and reversed their kissass soft positions on issues.
