Anyone see Crossfire today? |
|
Carville reported that today was one of the bloodiest days in Iraq in the last few months, 68 killed. Novak asked, "How many of those were Americans? Only 3, right? Why don't you report it right, only 3 Americans were killed today!" (I guess to Novak, Iraqui civilians don't count.) Carville admitted that yes, only 3 Americans were killed...immmediate cut to commercial, when they returned, Wolf Blitzer was standing right by the Crossfire table, and began reporting the day's headlines by saying, "68 killed today in Iraq." Wolf almost, almost smiled. Novak was carrying on about the Dems having nothing in their platform to condemn partial-birth abortions, ie, he is SO concerned about LIFE, that he didn't consider Iraqui citizens' deaths worth reporting.

1. Almost all the News Media does that.... for an example... |
|
"Today a 747plane crashed into the Atlantic ocean near England, 455 were aboard. 4 Americans died, there names were ___1_____ __2_______ __3________ and ____4______, the family of ______1______ released a statement demanding t an investigation, we go live to their house... The president has ordered half-staff flags for 2 days for the Americans, our thoughts and prayers are with them"
Sound familiar?

2. "Not the Nine O'Clock News" did that |
|
Satirical mock-news show on British TV in the 80s.
"Today a jumbo jet crashed into the ocean. No British people were killed so that's alright".

Someone else who knows that show!!!!!!
"We apologize for Death of a Princess and offer, to the Saudis, the hand of friendship. The hand previously belonged to the producer of the documentary."
Ok, I know that wasn't an exact quote, but brilliantly done anyway.

6. So Iraqi civilians are worthless? |
|
If their deaths aren't worth reporting about, why have we spent hundreds of billions of dollars and 900+ lives liberating them?

7. People NEED to start asking that question! |
|
I SO wish Carville had said that. "So, Bob, you think Iraqi lives are not worth mentioning huh? That's really the way to win the peace, isn't it?"
It makes me SICK. WE NEVER hear of Iraqi deaths, we never see their pictures, hear their stories. They are human beings with lives and families and it's like NOTHING to us.
Sick. Novak should hang his fucking head in shame.

8. Killing Iraqis isn't the same as liberating them |
|
Why can't we just send Novak over and send our troops home? That way, if he's killed, only one American will die.
:grr:
