Mess Hall Massacre
For crying out loud, CNN has graphics called the attack in Mosul today the "Mess Hall Massacre" Sounds like a bad B movie-

These people have no sense of propriety and no grip on reality.

1. Anything for ratings.
CNN longs to be "Foxified"
They have no shame.
Bernie Shaw - where are you?

2. Agreed
How do you think the relatives of these soldiers are going to feel when they get that phone call or visit from the military? It is bad enough to know your loved one died in a war for oil, let alone hearing on the media that it was a massacre!

6. That's what I was gonna say.
The question is, HOW are they reporting it? I refuse to watch Corporate News Network.

8. Hmmm, Ridley Scott might want to make a movie about it,
It's almost as catchy as "Blackhawwk Down."

9. Here in AZ...
one of the news stations used to run a graphic that said "The New Iraq"...and then they would show the bombed out cities and cars gutted by bombs...

It's all for ratings...they are trying to Foxify themselves...flashy graphics to make up for the lack of real news...
