Aye, but why don't it make the news boys? What's wrong with your press? I tell you, our press print that stuff, they love it.
I quote from the article "the most plugged in nation in the world", can this really be the case if they don't tell the good and the bad?

I think he was referring to the British press, who are good at supporting our troops, with the exception of one paper who really fcuked us over a few weeks ago by publishing faked pictures of some soldiers pissing on an Iraqi. On the whole though, hero stories like your man mentioned in that article make the press. People like to know.
Shame that we're all getting labelled as baby killers and torturers when the vast majority of service men and women are honourable, brave citizens.

That's easy, my friend. Our press is on crack (not craic) and generally likes to make the conservative side and military look bad. They have a political agenda and to further it, a lot of things get slanted terribly.

lol....something else cnn wont show...by reading their site you would think that no WMD were found in Iraq two days ago...news that is apparently more important :
MORE TOP STORIES
• CNN/Money: Bush renominates Fed's Greenspan
• 9/11 panel told glitches hampered rescuers | Video
• Palestinians say 20 killed in Gaza | Video
• Sonia Gandhi says she won't lead India | Video
• TV icon Tony Randall dead at 84 | Video | Gallery
• Man loses finger, zoo visit privilege
• Student hospitalized after drinking lab chemical on a dare
• We have a winner...
those are the top stories...now for the international section
• Emergency declared in Nigeria state
• Germany: Algerian terrorist caught
• 5 cities in race for 2012 Olympics
hmmm doesn't seem more important....maybe its hidden in the US section....
• Unclaimed finger leads zoo to ban
• Student drinks lab chemical on a dare
• Mount Rainier climber rescued, dies
nope, not there...though the finger story was funny....bitten off by a jaguar...the barriers are there for a reason dumbass...anyways....OH i know, politics, its in that section for sure...
• Bush affirms Israel's rights
• How It Works: Internet ads
NOPE....and the lead story is of course the gas prices.....what a bunch of horseshit...lets check the foxnews website....ok lead story is....gas prices!? nope it's "Sarin Results Confirmed"
msnbc headline = "no pullout for US troops certain -- no timeline...." yes that's obviously more important to americans than the fact that hundreds of hours of news coverage that can be summed up with "bush lied, saddam was a peacenik" was totally obliterated over the weekend....btw no mention of WMD anywhere on homepage (and theres at least 50 stories...)
no mention of WMD/sarin incident on the new york times page either...not even their international news page on which there are dozens of stories, even the middle east section has 4, witha total of 10 or so stories on iraq...none to do with the sarin....
someone shoot me, i think im going insane...

on a barely related note...one of the stories i saw when reviewing my post..."student drinks lab chemical on a dare"...omg too funny...they found the student collapsed in a hallway bleeding from his mouth and nose, and his throat had at one point swollen so much that he couldn't talk....but he's recovering....that had darwin award http://www.darwinawards.com written all over it :( maybe next year...
• Unclaimed finger leads zoo to ban
Haven't read the lab chemical story yet, but the Jaguar one was hilarious... dude lost a finger and ran away... what a tool
