With all these bombs exploding in Baghdad, why are we not getting pictures
With all these bombs exploding in Baghdad around the green zone , why are we not getting pictures or casualty reports? 6 bombs in two days and no casualty reports, sounds like somebody is hiding something.

1. Why were we not given the basic facts about the Spanish election?
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 01:11 PM by jpgray
Why are we not hearing about the dying wounded in Walter Reed and in Germany? The media are not interested in reporting much of anything unless someone tells them explicitly. Case in point, the recent focus on the 'hunt for Bin Laden' is the result of administration press releases and leaks. On the Spanish elections, they just found an editorial slant they found good (for whatever reason) and ran with it to the further ignorance of the American people about what actually happened in Spain.

3. cbc radio reports that the bushitters 'think' they may catch bin laden's
2nd in command....they 'think' that he's not with bin laden. The cbc spent 5 minutes discussing the implications!
how does one tell the mediawhores i 'think' they're selling themselves too cheap?
there's not been a peep about the fake news reports on medicare that the daily show mentioned other night....

4. Media Whores
The same reason why dead U.S. military are relegated to a deep inside news page and the wounded are never reported.

The mainstream media has basically ceased to be a realiably viable source of news.
