The whole sniper thing is really driving me wild!!
 

Ok the whole sniper thing is getting REALLY ANNOYING. What is up with the stupid news stations?!

CNBC - Sniper
Fox News -Sniper
CNN - Sniper
CLTV - Sniper

Ofcourse, CNN did mention the Chechen hostage situation for about five minutes, and then it went back to its twelve hour sniper coverage. Don't the people care? What is wrong with these "news"?! There is a terrorist hostage situation and it involves hundreds of people including foreigners from UK, the US, Germany, Austria and Australia. Doesn't the U.S. give a damn? Why? Your own people are in the hostage situation. Anyway, I would also like to ask why do the attacks on Israelis get more coverage than this attack on Moscow where 500 people are kept captive. Does this make any sense?

The terrorists in the theater. You wont see this picture in the news, that's for sure.

Right now, in the US, the sniper news is much more important than a hostage taking. Thats what people want to see. Russia doesn't really effect them, but the sniper does.

I guess I really shouldn't be saying anything since i'm not an America, but I think its pretty clear.

Spooge welcome to America, the self-centered society.. didn't you notice how quickly the Bali bombing disappeared from the news here. It's all about dollars, foreign problem just doesn't sell the news here. So we sit here like idiots until someone flies planes into our buildings, and then we ask why did they do that? For the most part we are blind to the plight of the rest of the world unless it effects our economy.

Dr. Phil's super duper Nobel Prize winining advice : Don't watch 24 hour news stations

still...it is over done...I could see 9/11 maybe being tis long (though that was over done too)

they take the towers out of movies like spiderman and shit...but we ahve to see them collapse 1 millions times...I don't understand

anyways they should give the hostage situation more cover...they are a news station and should cover more.

i dont give a dman about the sniper. he's caught isnt he?

I actually wish that they would feature more about the hostage situation. especially now that they caught the guy. Its terrible that 10 people did, but in Russia 500 people could die instantly.

i know i mean it's hard enough to watch it once then they gotta remind me every freaking second

Havent heard a bit on the Rossiya deal...better pick up the NYT tomorrow

The sniper thing- It's done, OVER!! MOVE ON!! The sniper is CAPTURED. Hey, THREE AMERICANS are kept hostage in the theater, so for the love of god, let the news show IMPORTANT WORLD CHANGING news. The sniper doesn't really have any affect on the world in any way anymore. I'm about to throw my television set out the window!!!

No it's not. The sniper is GONE-arrested. And nobody answered my question on why do the Palestinian attacks get more coverage; they usually have a debate and so on. When Arafat was held in his compound, that got lots of coverage. 500 hostages in Moscow-five minutes per two hours: in between the sniper extravaganza marathons.

Its not done. Until he is charged and in jail and everyone knows everything about what happened and all this it will never be over.

We have made Isreal problems our problems. Where as the Chechens are Russia's problem alone.

Yes, you are right. That is what the news stations are doing. They are trying to cover the two sniper's lives hour by hour, from birth till now, or at least it seems like it. "Did Mother Teresa affect the snipers? What do the snipers think of Jackass the movie? What are the sniper's favorite colors?" What is their favorite Seinfeld episode? Do they play Counterstrike?", and many other important nuggets of information will be shared by the media within the next fifteen days of nonstop 24 hour coverage of the $/|/1p0rZ.

Kind makes you think that the Media is actually run by the National Enquirer editorial staff.

why do the isreli's get more sympathy coverage? their jews! the jews support the us government. thus the reason why america supports isreal not the opressed people of palistine.. good ol land of the free helping opress people.

low spark, yeah YOU MADE it your problem, no one invited you to help opress people and get into a holy war. Just like no one invited you to help kuwait, you just did it. neither one had a thing to do with america, but ohh theres a hostage situation that includes your people and you dont give a fuck.

you people make ME fucking sick!
i hope bush attacks iraq so you can find out what weapons of mass destruction iraq has, FIRST HAND!

Someone really needs to create a news station that is placed in some neutral country, like Iceland, that only discusses world events. There are no debates between politicians, nothing, just what is happening. The news staton would only show the biggest catastrophies, and events that are important on a global scale, and no biographies of snipers or opinions of politicians and journalists on the future invasion of Iraq. BLEH!!!

Noooooooooo.... No, no, no. The news stations always base their coverage of something on what people want to watch the most. It seems that the Americans are very interested in the Palestinian problem, more than other world events; like the hostage situation. The thing is; all news stations are about money, it's all money, so they compete against eachother by showing crap that the most people will want to watch, like a dissection and study of one of the sniper's toenails. This is a perfect example of the failures of capitalism. Thus, it seems like people in the U.S. have no interest in the hostage situation. hake:

Duh I know that , that why I said what I said. Mellow out.

Goddam, you people are morons. Just because the U.S news stations don't dedicate their entire network to your overseas plights, doesn't mean "we" don't care or want to know the deal over there. Get over it already jackass. This sniper was an immediate threat to the public of Maryland and Virginia. Thats why it got extensive coverage. For the rest of us in the U.S., there is the internet, newspapers, radio, and local news stations for us to get "world news". CNN isn't the only news station in America.
I've been following the situation in Russia, Iraq and also the India/Pakistan military pull-back. Hey, i even heard of the German tourist in Australia who was eaten by an alligator!! There, you happy now??
For all you people outside the states, why do you care what we show on the news?

Good point Arkan, unfortantally not everyone in america is as resourceful as you. The problem is most Americans a spoon fed their news by the American media.

I tried all the full time news stations. Not just CNN, so before you call me a moron, read the posts. I also watched the local news, and I got the same amount of nothing just like the 24 hour news stations. I want to see movie footage, not a few pictures I would get on a website or in the newspaper. The radio is also pretty useless; sniper, sniper, sniper. And yes, the sniper WAS the immediate threat on the public of Maryland and Virginia.

P.S. Notice that I got the terrorists' picture from the BBC website, so I was reading news about it from the internet, but I still would rather see up to date footage, which I wont get on a website for the next 24 hours or so. Websites don't update as often as tv news stations.

You know something......i really think you're an ignorant asshole. Stop badgering other Countries and appreciate the fact that you live in a relatively safe enviorment tucked up there in the North.

I get were and why your giving your rant, but unfortunatly we are a tiny number of americans/non-americans that care about world events. Media sells what consumers watch. I've been forced to watch so much of this sniper 'news oOo: ' I have become sick of the TV. For now Im resorting to online sources for my daily new breifing.

I dont get why we freak out when someone kills 10 people, but dont give a fuck when drunk drivers kill hundreds of people a day. America is corrupt.

I don't know where you live but do you have acces to 1010 WINS News? (radio news) I find it to be one of the best news stations to receive up to date news. "You give them 22 minutes, they give you the world" wink:

Thank you. See? Now were getting somewhere. It's a lot better than the whole moron accusations bid you did earlier.

You gotta admit one thing though, lotsa morons here.

C'mon Spooge...you know the real reason. Deep down inside, we Americans still hate the Russians deep down to the core. ed:

The ONLY and I mean ONLY relaible source of international English news in the world is BBC news along with their own version of 60 minutes.

I never watch CNN or ABC or any American staion news else unless I have time. Thank god for Cable.

It's a damn shame we aren't getting more coverage of the hostage situation.

Hey, maybe they'll make full-time coverage one of their demands: kind of
get people to understand their cause...

And Spooge: sniper this, sniper that... FUCK THE SNIPER. I don't care LOL
