stinking pile of doggie doo.
who owns this pinhead?
-
saddam , the light of islam
-
Peter is in Baghdad, you think he can tell the truth? If so I have stock in a bridge I would sell you very cheap:D
-
enthusiam is a wonderful thing to see in a war reporter.
-
I sent an email to MSNBC telling them I will no longer watch their network until he is removed from their network. His interview on Iraqi TV was disgusting. He all but said "hang in there Irag regime, you can win".

What happened?

Can not be. Western pro-war propoganda machine is not to be trusted. Must be trick. Everyone know evil U.S. media bloodlust has.

he thanked the iraq regime. told them they were 'gracious hosts'. he encouraged the iraqis to contine the fight.. that the images he's sending out help convince more folks worldwide to support iraqs cause.
he seemed to miss the fact that the iraqis have already made 12 reporters disssaper.. including two guys from my local paper. let alone ignored iraqi violations of the geneva convention.. etc etc
bastard needs to catch the first bullet out of his mind.
-
Dunno ... maybe he's all too aware of that fact. I'll be interested in hearing what he has to say when/if he gets back.

-
he crossed the line. for personal publicity.
-
I probably would have shot my TV in a foolish rage if I actually saw him say that on TV.. Fortunately, I tuned out MSNBC long long ago.
-
Missing and dead reporters, now we have one who's spouting off anti-U.S. garbage on t.v. A certain Iraqi might may have a gun to Arnetts head and he's in fear for his life.
-
i've seen that pinhead when he's in fear of his life.. crawling around on the floor while his camramen stand fast behind their cameras.
the arnett i saw on iraq tv was in no fear of his life.
-
He did this 12 years ago and him doing it again comes as a surprise? He's kissing bellybutton so he can get that interview with Hussein, even if it means giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Ack-Ack
-
I'm not pro arnett nor do I give much regard for any particular news outlet over another. But the possibilty does exsist that he is being coerced into making statements.
If he's not, I will be more than happy to save your tax dollars and shoot the s.o.b. myself.
-
Arnett's reports go out on MSNBC, but he is actually with National Geographic Explorer.
-
genetics already punished this guy enough. He's got to be the ugliest bastard on the planet.
-
Whoah...
I go to the CNN website and there's a story about Arnett's interview. In that story there's a link to the actual transcript of Arnett's interview. When I clicked on it, I got a '404' error that the page couldn't be found. I then go back to the story and hit refresh a couple of times..... and the link to the transcript was removed.
-
There's a link to a discussion of his interview on CNN's front page.
I didn't see the actual interview but if CNN's report is accurate, it could be a career ender for this bellybutton clown.
-
I remember him saying the US warplan failed due to the unexpected Iraq resistance and they are now trying to draw up a new warplan.
He also, and this is no ****, took credit, yes, took credit for all the oppostion to the war in the USA. He said it was because of the reports he was sending back showing civilian casualties and the impressive Iraq resistance.
What an ass. The scandal he was involved in about the reported, then proven false use of Sarin gas in Viet Nam wasnt enough, he now does this. What an ass.

MSNBC site has a nice little "click to email your questions to Peter" button.
I couldn't resist.
Also went to their "contact us" page and dropped them a note at NBC HQ as well.
Seems my TV is busted... in fact all of them are... they don't pick up NBC sourced channels anymore.
I'm going to call a repair man before Christmas of 2010 though. I think.
Guess I'll have to watch the other 52 news source channels till then though.
-
Saw the interview. I hope the IRS is auditing him this year.
He's the hanoi jane of the new millenium.

Is he as bad as that screwstick on CNN, Clancy?
I wanked the TV last night when Clancy was on. Made me feel better.
-
hmm doesnt Microsoft own a chunk of MSNBC? Sure be sad if we all had to switch to Apple and Linux and Opera now, wouldnt it? :)
-
You guys are getting all excited about Pete who is behind nme lines and yet there is hardly an out cry when Chuckie Rangel said the military is targeting innocent women and children!!!

Arnett Fired
Geraldo expelled.
A glorious day for tv viewing in my book.
-
WooHoo! Peter Arnet fired again for being an ass! Guess he better send a resume to Iraqi TV. :)

How did the TV feel? Relaxed?
:D
-
everyone knew that little lefty petie was a tool 12 years ago... what's the surprise? I think that he will problyu increase fox news share aof the market another 20% or so... singlehandedly.. He won't be able to hide under the bed this time I don't think.
lazs
-
Why was Geraldo expelled?
-
You have to think he's either being coerced, or fighting to keep from being expelled. You can excuse no. 1 easily, but no. 2 is one hell of a career gamble. I guess we'll just have to see.
Geraldo got expelled! I was looking forward to his "Running with the car bombers" segment. Or, "Opening Hussein's secret bunker." Ah well.

-
I watched him last night...I don't think he's gone.
I like the guy....get the feeling he would pick up a weapon and get after it, rather than just hide in a hole behind US servicemen.
-
Peter Arnett was just fired. Yay.

He was expelled today for drawing a map in the sand during a live broadcast. The map showed where they were headed.
Of course, I'm not there. I'm just relaying what I saw on tv.

He is doing nothing more than what the anti-war protesters here in the USA are doing.

But the anti-war protesters aren't paid by MSNBC.

but he's doing it in IRAQ and he's paid to be an IMPARTIAL reporter
shot my nasty email to MSNBC also...
-
There is no such thing as an impartial reporter. Some just hide their opinions better.
The guy is an idiot no question about that but who is the bigger idiot the one who says the BS or the company that pays him to say it?
-
He was on the today show he was fired from NBC MSNBC and NG. He said he was sorry and didnt mean it and oplans on leaving as soon as possible.
Poor Bastard, it would be a shame if didnt make it out.
-
Ok I'm thinking of this situation...
...I'm a journalist, I'm in Iraq, The "big kahuna" is hanging out in a bunker a few blocks down the street from my hotel in Baghdad and he can have me gassed, shot, hanged, stretched, flogged, beheaded or any number of exciting and imaginitive ways to die.
Hell with being an impartial journalist I say, i'll get on live t.v. and attest that saddam's farts smell like roses and he's fond of cute fuzzy little puppies and gives them to young sick children from yankee pigdog chemical weapons if he's got a gun, flamethrower, can of human-raid spray pointing at me.
By the way...how many of you are posting from Baghdad where you've got people watching every word you say and Corporal Twitchy Hassan of the Republican Guard has an AK-47 pointed at you?
-
I'm thinking that those who are implying that peter arnett said these things to apease the Iraqis did not see the interview.
peter arnett has been a reporter for some time and news agencies were willing to accept his occassional misgivings. Both news agencies associated with him on this particular occasion feel he crossed the line... considerably.

er, none of us are journalists that VOLUNTEERED to be there.
-
The report on the radio I heard this morning was that he was fired and has already made statements about how he's sorry for what he's said. Doesn't strike me as though he's being controlled or under duress.
I wonder how he'll get out of the region though and if he'll ask the coalition for armed escort out, considering other newsmen have dissapeared and it's a very dangerous place, or take his chances on his own?
-
He was on the today show very apologetic and said it was an improptu interview and that he was stressed and un prepared. He also said he stands by the substance of what he said but wished he could of worded it better.
He then apologized like a whiney squeak and mentioned he was diappointed he was leaving because he viewed the war as "the story of his lifetime".
Dont make excuses for this tard he ****ed himself good.

Geraldo was the reason I stopped watching Fox
He got booted by the pentagon for giving away troop movements.
Hes a first class ass.
Good riddance.
-
unpopular opinion was what he stated...
get the lynchmob
what if he told the truth, as he sees it?
what if he had a gun to his head?
(o'course I haven't read/heard what he had to say)
-
He has a history of this. First playing iraqi propaganda minister in GW1 with his nombed baby milk plants, then the botched CNN chemical weapons story, then this garbage. He created this mess for himself over the past 12 years.
BTW wlfgng how can you assume he got axed for telling the truth if you havent even seen the interview?
-
So he was talking his own opinion and that give you a right to hang him ?
rofl :(
Freedom of speech my bellybutton :confused:
-
Air guard, you must misunderstand the freedom of speech. It doesn't mean we have to like him or hold him in high esteem if he says whatever he pleases. Yes, he was free to say that and his tongue will not be cut from his mouth. We do not have to like it and we are free to speak out against what he said and now we know what he is about.

hello, there's a war on.
-
That is true puke but he lost his job in NBC even if he was working for National geographics when he stated it ?
When I say this a norwegian well know TV face lost his job too when he was bushing the attack on Iraq.
What i mean is I dont really bother what some people say i am able to make up my own mind and dont need help to do that :p
I hope.
Seen so much ****e and i want peace and quiet for the rest of my life, so take care all :)
-

I said WHAT IF he's telling the truth, as HE SEES IT...
or had a gun to his head.

Whats with you ignorant liberals idea of free speach that means one cannot loose his or her job or in our case BBS privelages at a PRIVATE BUSNIESS for violations of that PRIVATE BUSINESS' private policies. All free speach means is that the GOVERNMENT has limited power to punish people or restrict their speach in an offical legal manner - limited as in you can say things but if you yell fire in a theater your butt goes to jail.
And if none of you understand why it was wrong for him to appear on a TV interview with an Iraqi MILITARY inteviever at a time of war and to say those things then you are beyond help.
-
no you have me wrong, actually...
I think he 'crossed the line'... however, I'm not ready to judge him yet.
my comment was towards those that are.
In light of the nature of the iraqi regime, the 'missing' reporters (abducted in pre-dawn hours?), etc one has to wonder if he was coerced... that's my only point.
-
I wasnt talking to you there wolfgng was direted at airguard.
Oh yea Airgurd he was working for an MSNBC show called national georgaphic explorer. So when NBC decided to can him, Yea!!! WooHooo!!! Yipeee!, they completly severed their business ties for all shows.
-
uh.,.. oh
lol

Aw...I bet ole Peter was just ticked off about the Florida vote count! :D

LOL ignorant liberals, you dont know me do you :)
well private or not its national tv isnt it, I dont really care but somone got scared and sacked him.
(He cant be proven right eihter, or wrong when i first saying that)
I dont care if it was private or not, wrong thing to do.
Seen that before and dont like it it was not called violations of private busniess when the czecks provided their opionion in diffrent wolrd and domestic news in 1968.
whatever beeing said here by me, I am a liberal in your eyes and nothing gonna change that.
Just the matter about what youre eyes wanna see or do not see.

Here is the bull**** in all this as i see it.
His "truth" depends on his audience.
F.
-
He was in no position to know the "truth". He was hunkered down in a hotel room crawling around the floor saying "wow look at the explosion" during the night. During the day he was escorted around by Iraqi government officials.
He had no way to "know the truth". The guys an idiot and from his apology and his excuse for why he said what said proves it.
If he really believed the bs he espoused why hasnt he defend it? He hasnt he admits it was stupid stated it "was an impromptu interview" and he had thought over what he was about to say. There was no conviction in his sniveling.
-
I donno if you are or are not a liberal however you sure seemed to have that liberal idea that his free speech right was violated ciuz he got fired from his job at a private business for being an bellybutton and making a disgrace of himself b being used as blatant propaganda by the enemy military while we are at war with them.
-
LOL I went trough the news today and understand that he actually was interwieved by the Iraqy TV, that makes the matter diffrent.
Then i must say that I was wrong, and maybe I should start checking things before posting .
sorry !
-
Cool! :D

He has been hired (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/030331/80/dwp3p.html) -by the British anti-war "newspaper", The Daily Mirror (http://www.dailymirror.co.uk).
The Mirror's version of the story is here (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/page.cfm?objectid=12795796&method=full&siteid=50143).

thats the difficulty with fireing people. you turn them loose with all your secrets. and a vengful attitude. the msnbc firing came from the ms side im shure. took him what not 24 hours to be hired and back. lol got to love capitalism.
he was fired for not supporting a aggresive illeagle war.
:rolleyes:
-
Yeah, that's it towd.
It had nothing to do with a viewing audience pissed off at him encouraging the Iraqis to fight harder at all, instead it's part of the grand conspiracy.

No he was fired for allowning himself to be used as a propaganda tool by the Iraqi military, he was interviewd by a military official on iraqi state TV. But of course that really doesnt matter to you since you want the iraqis to win and kill americans.

Getting fired for pissing off the viewing audience of a media powerhouse is hardly equated to not supporting an "aggressive illegal war". What war isn't aggressive? What makes this war illegal?
And he was hired by a crap anti war rag. Like going from a Jag to a pinto.
-
The first thing he did after getting rehired was to recant his apology.
MiniD
-
Next he'll find Coalition troops using Sarin in the Baghdad suburbs.
MiniD has it nailed. Tells you everything you need to know about the guy. If he looked us all right in the eye on TV and says "I did not have doggie sex with that Iraqi" and then recants it the next day............
-
He should be jailed under the Sedition Act.

Yes, he does have a past.
Check out his reporting on Operation Tailwind.
ARNETT: "According to military officials, during the evening, American planes gassed the camp with death sarin nerve gas ...
Then check out the truthfulness of that charge.
I believe you'll find he changed. Or else he was always a lying sack that had one moment of glory.
You make the call.
-
Guess he'll just continue to get by on his good looks.....
(if I knew how to post an image of Arnett, you all would get this joke)

Here it is. :D

That may very well be true. Not the attack of course, but the claim of such an attack by "military officials" (if they were Iraqi).
This is peter arnett's major problem... he's so against American participation that he's willing to propogate lies on television as long as they make the American military look bad. He's been fired from virtually every news agency he's worked for because of it.
When you only report what the "enemy" tells you without any kind of verification in an attempt to undermind your country's efforts in the war... what does that say about you? I don't think he's far from pushing the "lending aid to the enemy" envelope. He's taken it farther than Hanoi Jane ever could. I only hope increased loss of life on both the Iraqi and U.S. side because of his dissention is worth the publicity.

There is no baggage no psychobabble Bs there the guy has consitantly shown he has it out for the US military and his reporting consistently reflects that bias. Its what got him fired from CNN and its what got him fired from NBC. Veteran reporter or not he is an anti-USA hack, do you think its a coincidence he was pretty much only non arab western TV reporter left in baghad?
-
he was fired for not supporting a aggresive illeagle war.
No such thing as an illegal war. And all wars are agressive for at least one side.

Ever notice ya never see Hannibal Lecture, Phil Collins or this guy around at the same time?
Spooky huh?
:eek:

-
Operation Tailwind is a VietNam sourced mistake made by Arnett. Years after the fact.
He got behind this "breaking story" and it was the purest BS.
In short, Arnett has always been a BS merchant. IMO.
