Hate Radio: Liar Laura Ingraham "We don't need war images because we have Hollywood"
Of course. Only a pathological liar like Laura would think FAKE images should replace the REAL. That makes sense, since she's a FAKE too!

Ingraham: We don’t need graphic war images because ‘we know what it’s like’ from ‘high-tech Hollywood.’
Today on her radio show, right-wing talker Laura Ingraham hosted Zoriah Miller, a photojournalist whose embed with the Marines in Iraq was abruptly cut short after he published photos on his website of a dead Marine. Once Miller’s segment was over and he was gone, Ingraham accused him of having a political agenda and acting in “desperation” to turn people against the war. She also said war photography like his was unnecessary because “we know what it’s like” from “high-tech Hollywood”:

INGRAHAM: As the situation in Iraq continues to improve, I think you’re going to see more acts of desperation like this on the part of the anti-war clack, and of course Zoriah Miller has to be one of them. … We know what it is like for people to be disemboweled by an IED or a sniper’s bullet. We’ve seen enough of the horror, with the high-tech Hollywood, okay. We know what it is.

In a column on the subject by the New York Times’ public editor this week, executive editor Bill Keller noted, “Death and carnage are not the whole story of war — there is also heroism and frustration, success and setback, camaraderie and, on occasion, atrocity — but death and carnage are part of the story, and to launder them out of our account of the war would be a disservice.”

5. So Ernie Pyle Is A Traitor Now As Well...
Many times I can't help but think the Iraq invasion was the real life "Wag The Dog"...from the contrived "crisis" to all the propaganda ploys. Up is down, good is bad....and Ingraham serves the ministry of propaganda...she doesn't need the talking points, they just appear in her pointed little haid.

The corporate media has been avoiding much coverage of Iraq, period. Not good, not bad...not at all. If we're lucky, we get a few minutes of a reporter on the balacony of their hotel and so be it...kinda like the German reporters saying how all was going well in Stalingrad. Meanwhile the other day CNN had a general on who said there had been heavy fighting in one of the provinces, Kurdistan is ready to take their oil and run (with boooshie buddies help) and all sides are just biding their time for the U.S. military to finally break under the stress. Yep, it's all going peachy there.

Ingraham is a horrid assemblege of protoplasm...so horrid, even the folks at Faux can't stand her.
