the Fox news panel agreed that it is the media's fault
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 02:01 PM by quinnox
after Bush's campaign "commercial" event Fox news had a General who had been in Iraq recently and he agreed that the media is not showing all the good things happening.

They must be desperate to think this will work, it ain't gonna work.

2. So FOX is taking the blame for..
..the failure of the Iraq War?

Wow, what these guys won't do to cover for Bush.

Now send them to Guantanamo! Traitors!

3. Yea, That has been the latest talking point...
Did you see the Andrea Mitchell piece on NBC to blame the media blitz. To which I ask why hasn't Faux gone out to Iraq and reported on all the hospitals and schools that are opening daily.....

5. someone brought up the fact last night
that over 80 journalists in Iraq have been killed trying to report on all this "good" news.

the guy from ABC News who was severely injured recently was one of them: he made it his mission to go over there just to get the good news out.

6. FACT: Iraq WORSE NOW than under Hussein. FACT; Iraqis WORSE OFF NOW
than under Hussein.

FACT; Americans dying daily in Iraq.

FACT; Americans being blown apart daily in Iraq.

FACT; situation in Iraq WORSENING daily.

Now just what "good things happening" beat out dead & dying & ripped to pieces Americans??? (I won't even bother mentioning the Irsaqi people, as they're sub-human :eyes: )

Wish faux moos would tell me WHAT HAPPY SHIT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN DEAD DYING BLOWN APART AMERICANS???

14. The school that is falling apart? The school with no textbooks?
The school without children or teachers, because it's too dangerous for the kids to leave their homes (dangerous even inside their homes) and teachers are fleeing the country?

THAT school?

8. Those idiots keep bringing this up, but...
They never give us the goods! I guess it hasn't been much of an issue until it hit their talking points... perhaps I should just give them time to create some good news, huh?

9. I heard one reporter say that they would report on the good news but
it was too dangerous for them to go out into the streets to get there.

10. Is that there only hope?
...blaming the media?

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

What about their claim to be the only party "with values"?
Isn't one of these "values"... RESPONSIBILITY? (As in taking RESPONSIBILITY for your actions....instead of always being the victim... and blaming others?)

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

11. If it's so good, then what are they waiting for?
Good for getting people blown away? Good for nothing? Good for the Carlyle Group and Halliburton?

15. The bleeding obvious ...
If things are going as well in Iraq as Bush says they are, why don't they show us photographs of the new schools and hospitals that have been built, up and running without any problems? Why don't they show us fuzzy-warm video clips of Iraqis shopping merrily in downtown Baghdad, without fear? Why don't they film interviews with Iraqi citizens, extolling the fact that they now have full-time electricity, clean drinking water, and a thriving economy?

The answer is all too obvious. They can't show us these things, because they simply don't exist.

19. Yup. Last year on the previous anniversary, Medea Benjamin
said the same thing on CSPAN and the WJ host treated her as if she was dangerously insane.

18. As the WSJ reporter returned from Iraq said
If there were 50 assassinations and five car bombs a day in Manhattan, the NY Times wouldn't be writing about a school that got painted.
