Faux doing their version of the Nightline List of the Dead |
|
Because Nightline didn't provide the context for why those people died for.
They call it "What we've accomplished". It started out with Saddam's abuses. How droll...how ironic.
Daily life has improved for the avg. Iraq.
Pollyannas, all of them.

2. Ooooohhhhh...they now have Freedom of the Press |
|
Even though the US shut down two...out of a hundred. You want to guess how many of those 98 are funded by the US or related sources?

4. They basically provided the "context" to the Nightline list |
|
without even showing a single name.
Their "context" was to list everything they thought was going right in Iraq, half of which you could tell was BS.

5. So did they read or show any names? I try not to linger on those |

Not a name or face...they just had to do a suck-up job for the Bushies. The idea that their segment (which lasted 3 or 4 minutes) was supposed to provide any "context" (their word) to the Nightline show is laughable.

7. I think the length of that segment got shortened significantly. |
|
They had commited to doing it so they had to, but it was only last week that there was faux outrage over the Nightline show and FAUX intended to capitalize on it. They did not understand the gravity of the Taguba Report and the pictures being shown throughout the world. My guess is that their "success" segment got shortened considerably from its original concept.

8. Words escape me . . . not a trace of irony |
|
Freedom of the f***ing press!
Are - you - f***ing - kidding - me . . .
We are pumping in propaganda broadcasting and shutting down dissident voices AND now even cutting off the voices of OUR OWN TROOPS.
Fox is beyond shameless.
