Are we "terrorist sympathizers"?

Study: Americans object to graphic on-line war images

NEW YORK (AP) -- Half of Americans object to the on-line availability of graphic war images, though millions have actively sought them out, a new study finds.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/07/09/war.images.ap/index.html

"...photos and even video could be readily found elsewhere -- at anti-war sites, Web journals, the Drudge Report and discussion boards frequented by sympathizers of terror groups."

Interesting that the headline could have just as well read,


"American's seek out graphic on-line war images" -seeing as half apparently do according to their own bi-line

1. What, and ruin their spin?
Spinning the headline is the most important part of hoodwinking the public. Many don't bother to read much other than that, so if they can get them on the wrong track right off the bat, their work is that much easier!
