a HUGE shift in MAJOR media reporting: "RESISTANCE FIGHTERS" |
|
in the dizzy blur of Arnulled and Laci, punctuated by the sweet beat of Joe Wilson and Novacula, there has been a SIGNIFICANT sea-change in Iraq War reporting that SLAPS BushCo just as hard as any of the recent shitstorms.
the major (read: not the useless cable whores) media have refused the 'it's just terrorists' WH rhetoric regarding ongoing fighting in Iraq.
today, in an AP report (is that right?) and on ABC Evening News (others??? I could only watch one) the resistance in Iraq was called what it is:
RESISTANCE. RESISTANCE to American OCCUPATION.
there was an extended battle today. it was reported as RESISTANCE FIGHTERS.
this is big. not as immediately sexy as Rove/Wilson/Plame etc.
but, BIG.
have you seen examples??? post!!!

That is a HUGE CHANGE.
IMHO, now that it has now become fashionable for even the Repubs to question ShrubCo's motives in Iraq, the media FINALLY starts calling the resistance in Iraq what it naturally is: RESISTANCE; as opposed to "Terrorist Attacks".
I only wish these "new" naysayers would have listened to us 12 months ago instead :(

3. A glimmer of truth in a sea of lies |
|
Let's be hopeful that there are patriots in the media, and in the media ownership, that will not be mouthpieces for the government.

4. Even better, they should be FREEDOM FIGHTERS |
|
Trying to throw off the yoke of tyranny imposed by the superpower illegally occupying their country.

7. to go from 'terrorists' bringing the "war on terra" to Iraq |
|
so we don't have to fight them in Des Moines...
to RESISTANCE FIGHTERS is a pretty huge leap!
WHAT will the backflash be???
remember when BushCo tried to sell "homicide bombers"?
looks like "Iraqi Occupation" = WAR ON TERRA is not going to sell either....

Saw it on one of the cable networks -- CNN or MSNBC, don't watch the other one.

8. I agree, this would be a sea change... |
|
let's see if they next catch on that true democracy is the last thing this crew wants in Iraq, what with the Shiite majority and all.

10. They are using RESISTANCE to protect them from LIBERTY and FREEDOM |
|
RESISTANCE IS Futile, you will be assimilated, surrender now, or you and your world will be neutered and destroyed (sorry, couldn't resist)
