CNN..Goldberg complaining the media didn't give equal coverage to pictures
Edited on Sun May-16-04 10:42 AM by glarius
He's saying the media played up the prison torture pictures and did not show the Nick Berg pictures nearly as much...
The thing is the decapitation of Nick Berg was a painful reminder to his family of his fate....Perhaps that is why it wasn't shown to the same extent as the prison torture pictures?...Do none of these right wingers not get the sensitivity of this problem?

1. Your tax dollars paid for the torture, not Berg's execution...
there is a big difference in terms of the public interest when something is done in your name. It's logical in an accountable society that stories concerning its own leaders get prominence.

2. Not so fast, rooboy.

Our tax dollars probably paid for the Berg execution as well.

You'd think that we coould get better video production value for all the money we invest in black ops against ourselves.

You could tell it was a US production, they had more than one camera.

10. Good point.
I forgot about that revenue stream.

Well, then some of us did pay for it, after all.

8. Lucianne also worked for CREEP
Nixon's Committee to ReElect the President as a dirty tricks black op.

She was the mole in the McGovern campaign who outed Eagleton for having been under the care of a psychiatrist, effectively ending the McGovern campaign and giving us the most corrupt President ever (until raygun and now bushlerco).

4. Let's continue talking about Smarty Jones winning the Preakness...
It's over. He won by a record number of lengths. But, the Belmont Stakes lie ahead. The story must move on. One story is over - the other continues. I'm not saying the Berg story is over but it is more "over" than the prison abuse scandal because of our duty to still hold the responsible parties accountable, especially if they are Americans.

7. It's only over
because it's backfiring and the press doesn't want to have to ask the obvious questions, which would expose who really murdered Nick Berg.

11. They also can't COUNT it seems. The prison stories were two weeks old
Edited on Sun May-16-04 12:14 PM by blm
and had a building efect as information was still coming out.

The IDIOTS like Goldberg were complaining about coverage not being equal within 24 hours. That proves they intended tp use that complaint and floated it as a RUSEand DISTRACTION for political purposes. They always scream media abuse whenever the facts are troublesome for them.

Goldberg, Hannity, FOX, et al help lead the way.
