How the media is treating the hotel attack |
|
Here is a sampling of the headlines on the websites of the major news networks:
FOX: Wolfowitz escapes rocket attack CBS: Wolfowitz: Strike won't deter us ABC: Rockets drive Wolfowitz from hotel. CNN: Wolfowitz defiant after attack
The only semi-appropriate headline seems to be from Reuters: Rockets hit Wolfowitx Iraq hotel; Us soldier killed.
What makes Wolfowitz's life so much more valuable than the the life of a US Army Colonel, who was killed protecting him while he was on vacation in Iraq? Shows what kind of respect the media really has for US troops.

1. I did a double take on the Reuters headline |
|
Like they had renamed it the Wolfowitz Hotel.

2. I like the one that says "Attack misses Wolfowitz" cuz it sounds like |
|
"Darn, they missed him. Better luck next time!"

3. "Soldier dies in Wolfowitz's place" |
|
and this would be the second time since Wolfowitz didn't go to Vietnam. That's my headline

4. How about: "Evil Bastard Escapes Unharmed"? |
|
Like Mike Malloy, I really hate those PNAC fuckers.

5. My only news for a few hours... |
|
...was a quick stop at CNN Headline news. They barely mentioned it--too busy with the Concorde and some celebrity things.
