Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 09:39 AM by DeepModem Mom
Did anyone see any coverage of the mowing down of the crosses, other than "Today"'s, on TV this morning? (I didn't see anything on CNN.) If not, something's amiss -- imagine if our side had done something similar.

Drudge's red light would undoubtedly be flashing, and the desecration would probably be the top story everywhere.

1. Let's email them and ask them why they are not covering this absolutely
disgusting behavior by someone who could care less about our soldiers and those that have died with their names on those crosses. Now that I think about it, it was probably Billy Bob Bush himself. He gets a thrill of empiralism when stuff like this goes on.

I know Fox, but CNN... something is going on here... more than just a "bias"

4. I watched about five minutes of Good Mourning America
And they had the breathless story of a "new" witness in the -- yep, you guessed it -- Natalee Holloway case.

5. On The Early Show
all that news-model Julie Chen-Moonves could muster was to point out that The Sheehans are getting a divorce.

6. Saw a brief story about the incident on CNN..
...with cue-pee doll Daryn Kagan....they showed a very short clip of the camera panning across a handful of crosses knocked over....making it look like just a few of them were vandalized. How about hundreds, CNN?? Not that it's more acceptable if it was only a few, but CNN made it look like it was a very minor thing. The whole report was less than 30 seconds....it was a joke. Let's keep it moving folks, nothing to see here.
:puke:

11. NBC leases land from the nut who fired his gun the other day.
Don't have a link, read it somewhere. Anyway, if that's the case, they have people in close proximity and could move on the story quickly.

12. MSM probably won't cover. Don't want to see how ugly they and their
supporters really are. Why would anyone want to fight in the name of these bigots and hatemongers?

13. How do you think a picture of the mowed down crosses would make
our Iraqi soldiers feel? Would they feel loved, honored, glorified?
Would they feel "supported?"
