6/23 CNN finally admits bias in reporting and promises to not be such
incredible fuckups in the future.

\_ When US bombed China's embassy a while back, I don't recall
there was ANY coverage on the victims neither. Join the club.
\_ Yes there was. I recall names, body count, professions, and a
bit about their families.
\_ Hmm, I don't see any pro-Isarel US media being pressured to correct
its bias.
\_ Name em.
\_ ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS
\_ *laugh* They're all pro-Palestinian if anyone ever was.
Anyway, no one who wants real news goes there anyway.
That's bubblegum news for the masses. Why do you watch?
\_ yeah they go to http://freerepublic.com instead!
\_ Yawn. What a weak reply. Total strawman. There's
only one conservative on the motd lame enough to
use biased propaganda pseudo news like the free
republic web site as a source and I'm beginning
to think it's a lefty shill looking to create an
artificial strawman. Get over it.
\_ At the end of the article: "Jordan said the company was taking
criticism from both sides, with Palestinian officials he met on
Saturday accusing CNN of serving Israeli Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon. ``They believe that CNN is the propaganda arm of the
the other way round.
Sharon government,'' he said."
\_ Palestinian whining is not at all the same as CNN admitting
they fucked up. The first is just a PR tactic. The second is
about CNN's guilt and correcting that misbehavior in the future.
I can honestly claim CNN doesn't run enough stories about my
daily events (zero so far! shocking!) but that doesn't mean CNN
is biased against me since I'm not newsworthy, nor am I a savage
terrorist murderer who targets school buses.
\_ What's wrong with targetting school buses? The goal of
terrorism is terror after all. Get the fuck out of those
settlements.
\_ You mean the settlements in places like the capitol where
buses and cafes are targets? Settlements my ass. They
won't be happy until the jews resettle in Atlantis.
\_ I thought the US media has always been accused of pro-Isarel, not
the other side.
\_ Spend less time listening to Berkeley-style "liberal"
pseudointelligentsiya.
\_ Uhm, no. And as the above points out, accused by who exactly?
SF/Berkeley is not the center of the country.
\_ Arab countries, Europe, Japan, China. Pretty much the whole
world, except maybe India.
\_ Arabs countries? Uhm ok whatever. European journalism is
extreme left wing and Europe is the home to anti-Semitism.
Japan is opposed to anything that might drag their economy
even further down. It's easy to whine when someone else
is covering your ass. And China is an enemy state which
is opposed to the US and her allies on general principle.
\_ and the principles are: complete disregards of
international treaties of any sort, completely
disregards of sovereignty of other nation, for the
sole purpose of expand its economic interest and
overwhelmingly dominance over the world...
\_ This is what *all* countries do. Next!
There was a time where Chinese were really look up
toward Americans (through out the 80s). It's American
themselves start to treat China as an enemy after
TeinAnMen Square 13 yrs ago, after the collapse of
Soviet Union, as China become the only country
left has remote (and i mean REMOTE) chance to
chanllenge American's dominance over the world.
\_ You mean when the Chinese ran over peaceful
pro-democracy protestors with tanks? With friends
like that I'd rather have enemies. |
