It's just absolutely sickening. Not surprised at all though. The best thing people can do to fight this MSM bullshit is to not support it. Your just paying for advertisements, product placement and corp-gov propaganda. I haven't had cable for 5 years and I don't suspect that I ever will. I'm so frustrated, it just seems so hard to get through to these sick motherfuckers. They reach such a huge audience of clueless dumb-asses. How to fight them? I've taken to emailing these slimey bastards, but that idn't going to do anything, I already know. Maybe if 10,000,000 emailed. called, complained, cancelled their cable, blah blah blah, maybe then we'd get some honesty out of these greedy fucking pigs. Hit 'em in the wallet, since that's all they know. Until then there is no acountability, and what is supposed to be our watchdog media will function as the 4th branch of government. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 348557 United Kingdom 01/01/2008 09:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This came from the CNN transcripts page and was apparently aired on November 3rd, the day after the frost interview, but at the top of the page it also says this. THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. "WHITFIELD: Do you Musharraf -- I'm sorry. Do you think General Musharraf knows where Osama bin Laden is? BHUTTO: I don't think General Musharraf personally knows where Osama bin Laden is, but I do feel that people around him are many who are associated with the earlier military dictatorship of the '80s. That military dictatorship formed the Iran Mujahideen. The Mujahideen subsequently became Al Qaeda and Taliban. So I believe that break has not been made between the supporters and sympathizers of the Mujahideen and thereby, of the Taliban and Al Qaeda that is necessary. We need an administration and a security apparatus that does not have people with links to the Iran Jihad of the '80s." [link to edition.cnn.com] |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 339350 Mexico 01/01/2008 09:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | FOX News Joins BBC in Censoring Benazir Bhutto's Statement That Osama Bin Laden Is Dead FOX News Joins BBC in Censoring Benazir Bhutto's Statement That Osama bin Laden Is Dead Recently, I posted that the BBC had censored Bhutto's remarks in which she claimed that Omar Sheikh had murdered Osama bin Laden several years ago. There is simply no reason to believe Bhutto misspoke just as there were never compelling reasons to suspect that the various bin Laden tapes were ever authentic. Bhutto's remarks, in fact, tended to confirm numerous reports that bin Laden has been dead for several years. The BBC, however, is not alone in "censoring" Bhutto's references to the death of bin Laden. On November 2nd, 2007 two weeks after the first attempt on her life resulted in the deaths of 158 people, former Pakistani President Benazir Bhutto spoke with British interviewer David Frost about her plans for Pakistan, the botched assassination and her feelings about working with current President Pervez Musharraf. (In light of her death, this is a difficult video to watch.) In the course of the past few days, however, FOX News has aired short clips from this interview on Special Report. No one - including Frost - seems to have picked up on an astounding claim made by Mrs. Bhutto, namely, that Osama bin Laden is dead. Mme. Bhutto claimed that a man named Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh is "the man who murdered Osama bin Laden." With video. FOX News & Other Media Outlets Ignore Benazir Bhutto's Claim That Osama bin Laden Is Dead Fox News has a stake in keeping the bin Laden bogey man alive. Fox methods were pioneered by the "yellow" Hearst papers which promised "if you give me the pictures, I will give you a war!" No intelligent person respects FOX. Fox, therefore, has nothing to lose by editing the news to support an odious, fascist political agenda. The Fox noise machine does this 24/7. We expect nothing else from them and get it. FOX remains the unofficial propaganda ministry for Bush administration, Fox is the loudmouthed advocate of big corporate fascism, the Military/Industrial complex and any other cockamamie ideology that Rupert Murdoch might happen to puke up. The "beeb", however, is another matter. The BBC had only its reputation to lose by censoring the Bhutto interview to support an official version of events. An honest news organization should, ideally, have no stake in an official version of events. I challenge the BBC to come forward and explain why it would deliberately omit what is arguably the most important part of Bhutto's interview. |

Hummmm..... Bhutto herself has exposed the fraudulent nature of the Bush/Blair "war on terrorism". If Bin Laden is dead, as has been reported, then the various tapes that he is alleged to have made are all phony. The war on terrorism itself is a callous, calculated fraud perpetrated by a murderous Bush regime, a murderous Blair regime, a murderous puppet regime of Musharraf. That's why Bhutto was murdered. She was the woman who knew too much. Bhutto exposed the fact that US policies cause terrorism and she stated the various ways in which groups inside the US and Britain benefited politically and materially from the phony war on phony terrorism, the failed war in Afghanistan, the war crime that is still perpetrated against the people of Iraq. Bhutto posed a threat to the culprits in the Bush regime to include Bush himself. She posed a threat to the kiss ups in Musharraf's regime to include Musharraf and the liars who tried to float the incredible "lone lever" theory. She was murdered. And the BBC has been caught censoring the most important piece of the puzzle. If Osama is dead, the war on terror is a bloody fraud! Source: [link to existentialistcowboy.blogspot.com] |

But they lost a big chunk of that reputation when they reported live that Tower 7 had collapsed some fifty minutes before it did and then went silent about it-without even an attempt to explain how that could have happened. |
