I decided to do a quick check of the abc, cbs, nbc,cnn and "faux"

[tavalon]

I wanted to see if the wikileaks murder video was on any of them. Nothing on CNN, nothing on ABC, I was able to dig and find a small reference to it on CBS and NBC had it front and center. I went to "faux" last because, really, they aren't a news outlet at all. That was the shocker. They had it front page and it wasn't as spun as I would have expected from them.

1. Maybe we're in backwards world.

How ya doin' Tavalon??

long time no see.

[tavalon]

2. Fighting the good fight.

You?

[cliffordu]

10. Hangin' someplace between couch grouch and chronic malcontent.

You know how I am.....

[Dappleganger]

3. I watched it on Dylan Ratigan on MSNC and CNN

also showed it just a little while ago.

[tavalon]

6. I couldn't find any reference on CNN.com

[noamnety]

4. Woah, it's on CNN's site now.

I eagerly await how they will tie it in with tiger woods.

[tavalon]

7. You actually made me laugh out loud

I didn't think anything said about this video would make me laugh.

5. I think Faux News is making an effort to be "neutral" in many areas. They lose

nothing by commenting on the Wikileaks film (I saw it and it is sickening).....

But when it comes to POLITICS, they are as twisted and misinformed as usual!!!

8. If it's getting coverage on FAUX

there must be some compelling reason. The challenge now is to figure out who benefits from this revelation and who stands to lose from it. Is FAUX attempting to embarrass the Obama administration with it? One thing's for sure: it has nothing to do with attempting to be 'fair & balanced.' They wouldn't be pushing this story unless they plan on rat-fucking someone with it.

9. That is my thought

[Snazzy]

11. "if it bleeds it leads" n/t

[tavalon]

14. This is three year old blood, though

[Bluerthanblue]

15. check out the modified "rules of engagement" that are being

used in Afghanistan. Not easy rules for our military to work under but ones that have had some minor success. You won't hear much about that on fox-

And the video that was "leaked" occured when? And showing it now benefits who?

:shrug:

[tavalon]

19. The video was leaked today by wikileaks after quite a bit of harassment from

the Pentagon. It was released to try to shame our government into getting out of the war business and it was released to document a war crime. Think Mai Lai updated. TPTB didn't want that leaked either.

12. Then faux must see it as a pock on President O

otherwise they wouldn't show anything, methinks

[tavalon]

13. Still nothing on ABC

[TexasObserver]

16. It's a testament to the cowardice of most of the major media.

They are so cowered by the right they fear being labeled as "not supporting the troops."

[tavalon]

18. Indeed

17. Fox merely wants to provide masturbation material for its viewers this evening. NT
