Update: It was believed to be a suicide bomber, according to ahem..CNN

[quote=ninty9]Thats messed up. oOo:

Your essentially saying that the government could do whatever they want, and say everything went well, even though everything didn't go well, and you'd rather be led to believe everything is going fine.

[/quote:f08c1]I never said that I'd like to only hear good stuff comming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. I said that I am sick and tired of hearing about every single death that is reported. If they would flip it around and talk about more good things then negative (which is not lying to the people. It's just changing the overall ratio bewteen positive/negative). People think i'm crazy because I said that I wanted to hear positive things. All anyone ever thinks about are the negatives because that gives them a reason to go Bush-bashing yadda yadda yadda.

Again, I never said I only want to hear positives while the government is free to do what they want. The media leans to the left about the war (for the most part) and I would just like to see it change to come back to center or come to the right and report good things along with the bad.

The media is ALOT more war friendly than anti-war.

...

come to canada and see the difference between your media and ours. You'll see how much America media cuts down to make the war seem like a good thing.

Exactly what news are you watching?

I agree with Coleman, I wish the media would report not just on the bad, but the good. The troops need a morale boost, and we need to help them.

Call your cable company and tell them the only news channel you want is fox.

Heh, they are useless too. Modern Media is crap.

I watched some documentary is pop culture class that said like out of 100 interviews on all network news channels....97 were pro war and 3 were poltical activists. Very fair I would say...anti war never get news time.

since we are staying on our positions very firmly (shutteth thy hole buttocks lol biggrin: ), I do think there is a difference in our media and such. I just don't see how you think conservatives have the upper hand in politics (i remember you thinking the media was biased for conservatives in another thread).

yeah i saw that too, the military already made a statement about it, looks like thats what happened. someone brought in a bomb. prolly one of the civilian contractors.


also wtf are you guys complaining about now? this news is news, its being reported, doesnt matter if its good or bad. fox reports pro war, cnn reports less favoring reports, everyone knows that. no good way to report this story, shit happens.

That news is terrible, I am in shock.
