Didn't you know that Fox News has a look-alike for Brig. Gen Brooks that they show in place of the Centcom briefings every morning in order to insure that we all get a dose of "the real truth the way Fox wants it shown"? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Let's not even touch their embedded reporters with the live video feeds with the audio to go with it, the audio that tells us what is happening while we are watching it...the same video that every other news station seems to get their hands on somehow but without the audio so that they can roll it in loops and guess what is going on, never getting close to what actually happened.

Did you by any chance catch the CNN reporters "on the scene" in Tikrit a few days ago?
"There are no republican guard anywhere!"
*camera pans around empty desert"
"There are no Fedayeen!"
"camera pans around empty desert"
"Oh, there's a checkpoint!"
*camera pans to front, indeed they are approaching an armed checkpoint*
*They attempt to blow the checkpoint*
*gunfire*
"We're under fire! We're under fire!"
*continue speeding past the gunfire aimed at them (Hello...for blowing the checkpoint maybe?) [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img] *
"Tikrit is NOT safe! Tikrit is NOT safe!"
*end of broadcast*
This is not made up, I saw it with my own eyes on CNN...when I told my room mate about it (he was in the next room on his PC) he said "Then it's really true?! I am sitting here reading about it right now on DU and I can't believe people would be so f**king stupid!"
Believe it... [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]
EDIT: Sorry for spelling Brig. Gen Brooks name wrong...I'd also like to add, Davros, that I watched the Centcom briefing this morning and what Mordenheim related to the story is what he said (unless that was his Fox double, who also made an appearance on CNN, the station I watched it on.*snicker*) (Fox usually interrupts the briefing minutes before it is over if you are wondering why I would dare turn my channel to CNN) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I saw that and laughed my ass off, did you see the CNN security truck blow past the reporters when they were being chased by the other car shooting at them? The reporters, after having made the wise choice of entering Tikrit ahead of the troops and blowing a check point, were driving only about 70 MPH while a car behind them was shooting at them. "Hale" they were in a big SUV with a big V-8 but instead of putting their foot on the gas they decided to drive slow enough for the car behind them to keep up until they ran out of bullets.
