Title: what news service do you watch..
Post by: lazs2 on March 22, 2003, 09:07:10 AM
watch the two 'news' services...  At CNN they all look like someone pissed in their weaties... they are desperate to spread doom and gloom... probly give a left nut (if they ever had one) for just one weeping mother holding injured baby pic..   They are putting a brave face on it tho... still managing to do a lot of hand wringing about the horror yet to come.    Some admit that we may yet be able to save the operation...  

fox.... everyone smiling.. everything called a huge success.  going even better than planned and mom can still use the microwave to heat up the baby formula.... power is still on as is water..

I don't know if the liberals were more angry at us going to war or that we are doing a good job at it.  I bet seeing cheering iraqi's really pisses em off.

sheesh... even our little cz friend is left with nothing but a lame ordinace critique.

Fox news all the way.

heh, the liberals have spent the past two years trying desperatly to pin SOMETHING on bush.  It's like they're trying to prove that Clinton's monthly scandals were normal, and not the sign of an immoral person.

Meanwhile Bush jumps into the mud and comes out clean on the other side.

There are three types of people who are anti-war.
The naive,
The ignorant,
and the fanatically anti-Bush.

Broad spectrum.

BBC, Fox, CNN, NBC mostly. Looking for a varied perspective.

Additions of ABC, CBS, Debka  further "balance".

Taste it all!

Thankyou for your astute observations!

An equivalent statement would be:  There are three types of people who are pro-war.

The naive,
The ignorant,
and the fanatically pro-Bush.

Hey, this generalising is easy! Perhaps that's why it's so popular.

I'll do some more. Frankly, when people start their posts with 'Them libs...' it's generally pointless reading any further. This thing is bigger than petty partisan simplifications of disparate political viewpoints. It's a shame people can't get past that.

On-topic: BBC for TV/Internet, occasionally other 24 news services. Various newpapers broadsheet and tabloid.

Local news network interviewed the family of a young marine from Arkansas who was killed in the helicopter crash.  Every family member interviewed expressed pride in their loved one and support for the war effort and its goals.  

Apparently this wasn't good enough to merit a spot on CNN.  Earlier this morning they interviewed, in their studio, the family of another marine killed in the same crash.  The father had blasted Bush in a local network interview, accusing him of taking away his only son.  CNN brought the father and other family members to the studio for a live interview.  Why didn't CNN interview the families of slain servicemen like the ones from Arkansas?  

Whatever happened to showing opposing viewpoints?  Or is the answer too obvious?

This is disgusting.

mix addle headed ex coke head with christian fundimentalist and you get some scary individuals. they are common here in the south. he fits the bill.

if you watch the unedited feeds of his press talks its scary he hardly seems to know where he is. he has been coached not to interact for fear of another debacle.

Heh.. in the weekly radio address that I heard today from BBC, Bush said "...weapons of mass murder..."

After all the months hes worked to get legislation for his crusade, he can't even say WMD right...

Hes kind of repeative too.. almost like listening to some facistic speeches.. blaahblaah.. blaahblaah


and like everyone prolly noticed, i watch the BBC ;)

Australian based news channels mostly...the ABC, TCN-9, Skynews to hear reports about Aussie troops

The BBC and CNN when flicking through....I usually give FOXnews the arse - I find it a rather poor news service.

MSNBC mostly, CNN or Fox when I get tired of it.

Pravda.ru....LOL


Of course when I want the real scoop, I read the Weekly World News. Those are the real journalists. No one else got the scoop on Batboy.
