Five US troops killed, and CNN does not mention it on their webpage

[jobycom]

Can they become any less relevant?

1. "Missing teen's mother leaves Aruba"

"Pond drained, but no new evidence discovered."

That's what CNN is pushing now.

2. No sharks this week?

11. No. But very close.

Bear mauls Minnesota woman

CARLTON, Minnesota (AP) -- A woman was severely injured when she was attacked by a black bear while walking in woods in northeast Minnesota, officials said.

Certainly that's more important to Americans than five of our soldiers killed.

3. What they cover doesn't bother me as much as what they ignore

They've become a tabloid, or an entertainment rag, and show none of the civic responsibility that comes with the field of journalism. Which, to me, means they aren't journalists.

10. Heard a new one while flipping ...

Got caught up in it for a second because I thought it was some idiotic error, one of those weird obsessions I have for people choosing pronouns correctly.

But anyway ... apparently some guy disappeared from his honeymoon a few weeks back. Astonishingly, the media has been silent on this until now, but thankfully some reporter somewhere made his producers understand just how vital this story was. So, they have experts upon experts discussing the evidence suggesting foul play might be involved.

White guy, had a IV (as in "the fourth) after his name. Important stuff.

4. Didn't you hear? Reliable Sources is covering Iraq fatigue.

Not so subtle message sent.

5. Yes Faux News

thought I would sit back and try to bear some of the other sides view. Laurie Dhue I believe her name was,1 hour and no mention.

You would think that they would with terrorism in Iraq and all.

6. Four of the dead

are from the Georgia National Guard 48th Brigade, which lost four other soldiers last week.

7. Oh my god. That's horrible.

That's a lot of grief to hit all at once.

8. Didn't you hear the latest from Mr. Delusional?

The war is over. It is just a "struggle" now. Not near as sexy to report on as a war.

9. I remember as a young kid, maybe six or seven

listening to a long list of KIA soldiers from Viet Nam every night on the radio. My local station would read off the names. I don't know if they were only local soldiers, or if this was nationwide, I just remember the names being read.

Support our troops, hell. We don't honor those who have died, how the hell can anyone say we support them?

Hell would be too good a place for Bush and his band of murderers.

16. It's a "struggle" or "conflict" unless they want to interfere with your

civil liberties. Then it's "don't you know we're AT WAR?"

12. they`re draining the pond!!!

they`re searching the dump!!!..more later on the "i`m nancy grace and you are fuck`n guilty" show

13. CNN sucks.. Did anyone e-mail them and ask where they story was?

Thanks for reporting this joby!

I sent a message on the "Report an error on our broadcasting" site. I asked them why it's not being mentioned on the air, and why it's NOT on their website.

Maybe they read the "report on air errors" more than they do the general comments? Then again.. :eyes: ..who knows? :cry:

14. Thanks. You know, this story broke late last night on an Arab news network

and it was posted on DU. I scanned the networks then, and there was a story, I think on CNN, that "five" were killed in Iraq. It was a small headline, no picture, and no mention of nationality. Today I finally saw it confirmed that they were American troops, but only on CBS and MSNBC.

I guess I know where to go for quick headlines now. CBS, MSNBC, or Arab news, all are more accurate than CNN.

15. nothning in the pond, nothing in the landfill, and Natalee's

mother leaving to go back home to AL for the first time is so much more important than soldiers who are actually risking their lives for the lives for the lies of this administration...:sarcasm:

17. When at least 50 die at one time then it;s news.

News is about money and advertisers. Nothing else matters.
