It has been over 5 years since the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, and victory was declared in as little as a month. We are still there and if a person wants to look at videos and graphics of dead bodies, they must see a rare PBS documentary or obtain them from journalists who are unafraid to take photos and videos of the graphic stuff. However it has been about a week since Russia responded to Georgia's aggression against South Ossetia, and there have been tons of photos of mutilated Georgians shown on Mainstream websites and CNN and FOX and other news organizations. How could the media capture so many images of dead and mutilated bodies and destroyed buildings in such a short time when it is such a rarity to see the same in Iraq??

  1. 1.  media isn't free.  you pay for it.  if only by looking at adds.

    2.  if a network shows stuff that Cheney doesn't like, then they'll not be given permission to go to Iraq, and no protection if they do.

    3.  if a network refuses to show stuff in Georgia, they won't be allowed to attend presidential press conferences.

    what do you think this is?  a democracy?  really?  rotflmao.

    btw, concerning that "rare PBS documentary",  ya think maybe there's a connection between that and the administration's attempt to defund PBS?


  2. The mainstream media doesn't want to let on how bad things are in Iraq, that's why.

  3. Free? Struth I thought we had to pay for it?

    Not interested? I mean adverts on paying for it are vastly superior because they are more snobbish like me? Get off the free library computer? But I just got here, user pays, well what about my taxes my council rates, moron! Biff! So as i was saying these librarians must play rugby, biff, sorry not funny who are these folks in white coats, yea yea yea of course its free it must be nice for you foxtel I mean its Telstra and we only sell bigpond to foreigners silly enough to buy it? Look I am actually trying to reverse market them any insult was not directly or indirectly meant lovely company nothing wrong witht them! not.
