Im doing a report on censorship in the media and I am astonished at how many sites i look at bring me back to the government and news stations. Some of these stations, namely CNN, is so censored that we basically learn nothing of the news from them. What I mean by this is that the stations strategically leave the important information out that is the stuff people need to hear. One major subject censored is the War in Iraq. The evening news reports of the major networks provide at most a fleeting image of the death and destruction, inevitably hedged with absurd avowals from the US military that “precision” attacks were carried out against “terrorist” and “anti-Iraqi” targets. That is it, nothing more than that. Almost everynight people hear bs like "Coalition forces in Fallujah are yet again under heavy attack as aggressors try and shoo them away". We learn nothing from this. The media doesnt tell us how many soldiers got killed, how the attacks were being executed, or much other relevant information than that. We are an uninformed nation.
I also am a firm believer that the Bush admin. went to Iraq to secure Oil, I really do. Securing democracy is the most Bs ever stated to start a war. -------------------- |

bumping an old topic but I just saw it
I can't believe there hasn't been any mention of Fox News. I actually talked to a guy the other day who used to produce for them. he explained that every morning a list is handed down by the higher ups on the priority of stories, and how they should be talked about. yes, all their stories are given a conservative slant as per orders from the president of the company. and you thought CNN was bad |
