The 'media' did it's best to 'get out' #2 Al Qaeda death story.

[spanone]

Even though there was NO TRUTH to the story. Why isn't the White House pissed off about this LEAK?????

I think the Pentagon occasionally tests the media to be sure they are doing their jobs. Reporting exactly how the Pentagon tells them to report. Since when is 'Maybe' and 'Possibly' and 'might have' been newsworthy words to report???
OUR PRESS IS NO LONGER FREE........

1. How many times is that now.............

that the "#2 Al Qaeda guy" has cheated certain death by the hands of the greatest army on the planet? Is this the same #2 Al Qaeda guy as last week or has he changed again?
You need a program to keep up with this bullshit.

2. The video they're playing sure looks familiar.

3. It is usually the number three guy

or the Al Qaeda in Iraq guy. The number 2 has always clearly been Al Zawari - the former egyptian doctor who admitted along with Bin Laden a role in 9-11. He used to be the guy beside Bin Laden on all the video tapes, now he is usually the only one on the video tape.

4. the only guy on the tapes now

because bin laden died 2 years ago.

5. But one has to admit.....

That was one dangerous looking cow.

I also appreciate our knack for bringing them to justice on Fridays.

7. our press was never really free

the owners of the presses are free to print what they like and as a business they print what the market will bear. they live and die by the advetising they sell..actually the real freedom of press is what the internet has brought us-we no longer are beholden to the markets to fund our press. that`s why the government is attacking the freedom of the net in the same way they attacked the war on drugs

10. At one time we had the illusion of a free press. We had standards.

We had a fairness doctrine. We had some balance.

8. 17-30+ dead in 3 houses, including women and children

Who the fuck are the terrorists??? Under what possible approximation of sanity and justice do we allow our government to rain death and destruction on innocent people in impoverished regions of the world? This is appalling criminality! Criminals like Ken Lay run loose and wealthy while we murder innocents. We're an outlaw nation!

11. Those darned "good news" stories just don't happen according to script

do they?

[spanone]

12. You'd think they would wait to 'leak' these stories until they were true.

But as propaganda goes, the truth doesn't really matter. Most people just see the headline and move on....and bushco knows this.

13. THANK YOU

Our media is a neocon propaganda organ.
TV news is prime for any hope of restoring America.
