What will be up next for CNN and all the rest after Terri and the Pope?
What are they going to do for "news" next?

I really can't believe myself what I have been witnessing. 24/7 Death Watch, first for Terri, now for the Pope. Nothing else must be happening anywhere in the world. I'm shocked and in awe.

1. They're probably hoping something happens to Queen Elizabeth II next...
Nothing like death to keep ratings up, after all...

7. Naw.....the ROYAL WEDDING where MSM will have many ethical
questions, but no ethical questions for the thousands upon thousands of deaths in Iraq.

13. I forgot about that one
Yes, Chuck and Camilla will hit the other empty spots in the "news" not filled by other trivia.


Yes, there will be clothing to dissect.

Camilla's shoes for the wedding.

15. Oh yes, I did forget. How convenient. Prince coming up next with
wedding that Mum is not attending. Okay, got it. What a stream of BS, jeez and so sorry I can't really express myself.

You are probably right though. We only have what, 7 or 8 days to go?

Straight into the wedding of the "century"!

What graphics might CNN use for this?

Nice thought though. If only.......

12. We need to find a way to make that happen.
We need to take back the media by any means necessary. I have no idea how, but with all the great minds on DU, we should be able to come up with something.

6. Great, that's when I'll know, right? What's next on the right wing
Edited on Sat Apr-02-05 06:43 AM by anarchy1999
agenda? This whole media circus is so out of control. It is beyond my comprehension.

SHOCK AND AWE! Those that control know it well.

What are "they" going to shock us (the People) with next?

Flu, a chem plant blown to pieces, WHAT? Just What is next to flip the switch and bring us all "Martial Law". We've already been living under it already, but when will "they" announce it?

18. and it will be "timed"
to coincide with mid-term elections...

public reaction to bush*'s show-shill security plan, plus the mile-high schavio show to sign legislation has put his numbers into the toilet (somebody please flush :hurts: )

his last "terra-lert" (just before the Selections) received some blow-back - there were some "harsh" accusations that it was a political stunt

now add the WMD report to the show-shill security and Schavio -- a terra-lert at this point WOULD definitely be perceived as a political stunt to scare the public and improve his numbers.

invading Iran or Syria based on "intel" may not be well received -- but this is going to be determined how the spin plays out

the spin on the WMD report has begun -- bush is downplaying the negatives -- trying to show what was "right" about the intel.
(toon --> http://radfringe.tripod.com/ )

and repugs are singing the refrains from "move along...nothing more to see" song
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uslatest/story/0,1282,-4906448,00.html

``I don't think there should be any doubt that we have now heard it all regarding prewar intelligence. I think that it would be a monumental waste of time to re-plow this ground any further. We should now turn our full attention to the future and ensuring that the new director of national intelligence has all of the authority he will need to do his job.'' - Senate Intelligence Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan.

At the moment - the only way the sheeple will go along with invading Iran/Syria is if it's in "defense"...

Scenario 1: Israel attacks and Iran/Syria retailiates -- so we have to go defend Israel

Scenario 2: A terrattack on US soil that can be spun to connect it to Iran/Syria

8. The "official mourning" takes 9 days......
...followed by the upper echelon frocked ones getting together and voting for the next pope which could take two weeks...they burn the ballots in an official ceremony and the new papal unit emerges from the ashes. Very Medieval.
It's not over...not by a long shot...then it's back to Michael Jackson and probably another fiasco of some kind in "The State of Distraction".....Florida.
Perhaps there's somebody else on life support in Florida with insane family members that we can all get to know intimately.

10. Okay, so we are looking at June, which is what Scott Ritter has predicted
for Iran, right? Sometime in early summer "something evil comes this way"?

But don't forget the militia on the Southern Border, a very explosive situation there just waiting to happen in the next month.

Hold your breath, I am.

14. Scott's usually correct
Did you read his recent three-parter...scary.

When he told everyone there were no WMDs they labeled him a pedophile and invaded Iraq. I hope he has big beefy bodyguards now and stays off small planes. He really pissed them off last time...I can only imagine Kkkarl's irritation with him now.

16. I read anything and everything he has to say.
He came to Dallas and spoke, I have a picture of myself and another DU'er that I will take to my grave. He is a very honest and passionate American. To me he is a hero. He speaks out. He actually has been screaming, no one in power is listening.
