media propaganda (is this a good example?)

[egoprofit]

I was surfing cnn.com today and i noticed something that strikes me as a bit odd..

While looking at their headline links I didn't notice the "Bomb kills 14" link the first few times around...



Notice how that link is sorta pushed off to the side? Also that story isn't mentioned anywhere else on their homepage.

Do you think that's because violence is so common in Iraq that it isn't really "NEWS"? or is this an example of controlled media here in the usa?

1. cnn aka G.E. also making missiles and about every other thing

for the war in iraq...will profits never cease...billions and billions and billions...think they are going to spoil that...propaganda is cheaper

2. CNN is AOL/Time Warner. NBC is GE.

...but they're all in the same good boy beltway club anyhow. :hi:

5. yes you are right

thank you for making me do a little research. edger bromfman of seagrams fame seems to be the major player in cnn.

4. Its more important to show Bush going through the motions

"See, look, Bush is a good, honest, pure Christian who has the love of Jesus in his heart."

(meanwhile, five years ago):

"Clinton has no right to be in a Church. He is just using it to look like a Christian. But he is not. In fact, this pathetic PR move only makes me despise him more"
