Nobody seems to give a **** about dead Arabs. That is why it is easy to throw around terms like "no fly zones" without equating it with dead people. Really? Where did he say that? I don't see any reference to dead Arabs. He's a right-wing liar, who doesn't give a fig about facts. I was wrong, I did misread the first note. John does have a point though. The media fought Bush for the right to go out to Dover and take pictures of coffins from the Iraq war and now that they have that right, they are not showing the coffins coming home from Afghanistan. I don't really think it is a liberal conspiracy though. I think the TV networks just figured out they sell more products if they don't show coffins and they like the American public to be as blissfully ignorant of this war as Oprah. It does demonstrate how phony the righteous indignation of the left was when Bush was the president. It was never about the war. It was only about Bush. That's about as simple-minded an analysis as I've seen. Maybe there's less reportage about the bodies because it's been reported and it's boring. |

Plume is a novice compared to you. If it was about dead muskrats, maybe you wouldn't be so bored. YOU ARE TOTALLY FRIKKEN UNBELIEVABLE. |

So you are saying Bush made war a safe prospect for Democrats? Now nobody cares that our kids are being killed for no particular reason and they can stay in the blissful ignorance Oprah is so proud of. No, I am not saying that Bush made way a "safe prospect." What I posted, in plain English, is easy enough to understand: maybe there is less reportage about the bodies because it's been reported and it's boring. The young U.S. men and women who died in Iraq during Bush's war were killed for no particular reason. The last time large numbers of U.S. troops died for a particular reason was in World War II. The question still stands, where is the outrage from the left about the kids who are still coming home from Afghanistan in a box? Will there be any outrage about dead kids coming home from Libya? The whole topic *bores* Krause. |

As soon as a Republican occupies the White House the images will return to the nightly news and the front pages of newspapers and periodicals. I don't really think it is a liberal conspiracy though.

It does demonstrate how phony the righteous indignation of the left was when Bush was the president. It was never about the war. It was only about Bush. It is all agenda driven, they do not want the people angry at the Democrat in the White House. |

Well, Greg has certainly got agreement from the racist/liar crowd. |

Obama is into media control, why do you think he is so upset with Assange and Wikileaks? Obama is a narcissistic control freak. Probably 1/2 the reason Hilaryious is moving on. Politicians are getting on into controling the media and you can see it plain as day when you cross check with cynical attitude about a Omaba-UN-France media planted story on a media source that is a leftie junkie. Take Libya, Ivory Coast, Wikileaks... politicially managed for your consumption. If you check the logs on Wikipedia you can even see where edits are to cleansed out unwanted content. As Wikileaks so clearly shows, it isn't about informing the herd, nor the truth, nor about hearing the people -- it is about managing and txing the herd. We in North America are managed sheeples. |
