The media is different now because Pentagon hasn't been controlling access
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 11:18 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
The Pentagon hasn't been controlling access to victims or images the way they did in Iraq. In Iraq all CNN and Fox had was pictures of bombs blowing up anonymous buildings across the other side of the world.

The reporters didn't have to get close to the PEOPLE who were victimized and that's what's different.

Harder for reporters to swallow Idiot Son's LIES and puke them out to the public about how good things are on the gulf coast when they're seeing his FAILURE first hand

3. It's also different because, unlike Iraq, THIS slaughter will actually
cost money, instead of MAKE money.
