LOL, well-put, NS. I will not post on this any more.

Well I was not aware of any restrictions being imposed on GD forum or that another forum was being created. But if I have upset anyone by posting this link to the BBC then let me know. I note that Memnoch did not mention this.
As for the soldiers who rescued her, they would not have been aware that the Iraq militia had gone. They where brave and did the job very professionally. My anger is that the facts of this case where obviously kept quite to allow for full public sympathy. Nor can we totally blame the reporters. It also seems that there is a bit of a smell around the currant official story. |
<font color='white'> I find it funny that when ever someone posts a BBC story people so readily accept it as the gospel, truth and honest. But when somebody posts a Fox link the first or second posts (usally first) attacks Fox.
I guess English networks are incapable of reporting dishonest news </font> |

Its the subtle differences between Fox and the BBC- Like the flag waving in the corner during a Fox newscast. Other differences include a level of commentary. Where as the BBC would report that french fries have been officially renamed freedom fries, Fox would report that french fries have been renamed freedom fries and that we like it. It is the subtle differences. ;) As far as war coverage in general, I recall a poll a few weeks ago in the poll forum that asked opinions about the differing news perspectives during the war. Perhaps this discussion belongs there. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...;f=12;t=000623 As far as coverage of the continued occupation goes, I have noticed Fox still has its commentators, but I have seen very little glossing over the fact the occupation is not going well. So maybe they are at least a lil bit "fair and balanced" even if they are just tooting their own horn like everyone else does. And finally On topic: I'll wait til the dust clears a bit more on this article. It wouldn't suprise me if the gov. would use hollywood tricks to make themselves more marketable. Good PR gets votes! edited to add link to poll forum media discussion. [ 05-18-2003, 11:19 PM: Message edited by: Chewbacca ] |
Well worded by the big hairy Wookie - especially that bit about commentary. I can just see it now - you will eat your freedom fries and you will enjoy them :D
