Strange how the second set of bombings received
no coverage.

Our journalists are part of the massive cover up.

2. Did anyone else catch....
...the CPA police shutting down the CNN correspondent on CCNi? It was pretty much swept right past, but I saw it pretty dang clearly. This group of CPA police just swept toward the gathered reporters, surrounded one in the foreground, then a couple moved past toward the camera, then the feed went dead...

5. It's par for the course but who is making these decisions we want names

Every last mother%$#@ing one of them.

E-mail them tell them what you think of their sh-t coverage & editorial choices just don't send it to Aaron Brown he's a complete a__ wipe.

Tell them you'll stop watching and you'll encourage all your friends and family members to do like wise. Tell them it's in their corporate self interest to actually report the F_c_i_g News.

I've done it more times than I care to remember.

6. Actually, at some point, all the reporters and newspeople were
moved to another location for some reason.

As we speak, i am watching live and complete coverage on Fox. I gave up on CNN's because it was spotchy.

8. Wait... MSNBC has a hardhitting "story" with Dr Arnott about
LEECHES.. Apparently they let everyone go home for the weekend and just turn the VCR's on..:P

They have had NO live coverage of ANYTHING today.. And they wonder why they are below last place in the ratings..

10. CNN International has good coverage...
Funny they don't broadcast it there.

They had a ticker saying one of the bombs went off 100m from the Oil Ministry. I wonder if the ICRC bomb was intended for their... ICRC seem like a very odd target.

11. Chinese News agency on Oil Ministry bomb
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2003-10/27/content_1145150.htm

About 20 minutes later, a second explosion was heard near the oil ministry building in Khadamiyah on the east side of the Tigrisriver. No casualties from this explosion are available so far.

Seems like it is a different one than the ICRC one...
