Different Yahoo Stories in US and Canada

[justinsb]

I posted this to LBN and it was labeleled a dupe, it did have some of the same info but some of the information was very different. The US version leaves out the Iraqi Prime Ministers critisizm of US troops.

Curious, are they being fed an edited version again. Shocked, I say.

5. now THAT is an interesting discrepancy . . . . . n/t

[still_one]

6. interesting, your link on miller and first ammendment rights makes

this even more interesting because doesn't this indicate that the so-called freedom of press in the U.S. is fiction?

[justinsb]

7. But do you want a free press?

If you do then protect journalists from the government in all cases, not just the ones that work to your advantage. The press is still there, they make money from people in the US, if they can't publish crap and still make money they will change.

To give an anology, if everyone in the US stopped buying hamburgers, McDonalds would stop selling them. If everyone in the US stopped buying things produced in sweat shops Wal-Mart would stop selling the stuff. It really is in your hands.

8. We've got McDonalds and Wal-Mart in Canada too!

[justinsb]

11. Yes we do

unfortunately, but at least our Wal-Marts are trying to unionize and Krispy Kreme went belly up =)

9. I agree, and I don't watch or buy the MSM here

most news I get is from international sources, and independent shows

Actually by forcing reporters to divudge their sources eliminates whatever is left of investigative reporting, and a free press

Even though I agree with you, I guess I am not upset because those that live by the gun die by the gun. If these reporters allowed themselves to be used by the administration, and now are being burnt by that involvement, then perhaps this will be a good civics lesson to them to do their job, so things do NOT get out of control

It is the same thing with bush winning two terms. People are screaming about Roe V. Wade, Civil liberties, etc. Well, they want security over liberty, and they are getting just what they deserve

Unfortunately, all of us will suffer for that

sometimes, you learn the best lessons from mistakes, and maybe that is what will happen now. Obviously, the wounds from Viet Nam were to soon forgotten

15. It begins already...

16. yeah you are right, but the WH has been using fear also

to supress reporters from reporting negative stories for the past five years

10. I am going to jot a not off to AP

Frank Griffiths asking for an explanation

Excellent research

[justinsb]

12. Wish I could take credit

But I wouln't have known about the other story if what I posted in Latest Breaking News hadn't been labled a dupe - I looked at the "dupe" headline and noticed that it was only half the story. Sometimes "Excellent research" is just "happy coincidence".

[still_one]

13. well it is a good job anyway to expose the truth

[justinsb]

14. Thanks, I think I'm going to repost

with the links working to begin with this time.
