No fucking shit, I never said they were. Go back and re-read my post. rolleyes:

but you say they are responsible because they confuse simple people? It's not there fault he got confused, the news is usually very PC about the muslim issue and tries to make it clear that it is the extremists who are doing the bad things, etc. Cobra getting confused by that and hating all muslims isn't the responsibility of the media, they've made it hard for that conclusion to be reached, he just somehow reached it. basically, I don't think the media should be blamed because they take the precaution so people don't get the idea cobra has, but he is just more simple than the average person or seomthing so he got the idea he has, but they can't be responsible for that, he's just overly simple.

Do you even REMEMBER this post?

I said HE should stop watching the media. I said that BECAUSE he is misreading the reports about muslims because HE is simple and doesn't understand that just because the only things he hears about the muslim world is news reports about MUSLIM EXTREMISTS it does not mean they are all like that. Just because the reporters make it a point not to be bias, doesn't mean simple people won't make their simple mind up.

I never fucking said the MEDIA was responsible, if you actually READ my posts you would understand that. Now just leave it alone, because you're being pathetic... rolleyes:

ok, thanks trip, your last post was much more clear than your previous 2.

when you said "reporters control your life" that seems to place blame on the reporters to me, but whatever.
