I am too. Just, really upset my sense of fair and balanced. On the whole I like Fox News, just hate to see the political correctness foot ease it's way in the door!!

[roses of sharon]

Their press conference and photo-op with the Pals was sickening, and WITHOUT a gun to their heads.

I am sure that Fox and their cohorts in the MSM will soon be AGAIN reporting:

"Did US troops commit ATROCITIES?"

"Is the USA is losing in Iraq?"

"Is George W Bush is dangerous, stupid, corrupt, incurious, a liar, or an idiot?"

BUT;

The Pals are kind and beautiful and need their wonderful story told.

Their "kidnappers" are forgotten, never spoken about in anger, or defiance, or threats of arrest.

OK, what was CNN's excuse?

CNN wasn't held at gun point ..

[Tijeras_Slim]

What's eternal about it? The cd's going for .99 on ebay.

[Mo1]

He wasn't talking about the kidnappers

[Mo1]

If I were held at gunpoint by a Muslim lunatic he would get the exact same response from me.

Fine .. but if you didn't .. I still would not hold you in judgment

[mgbgun2]

Didn't see that report, sorry. Hate to think of Fox being in the same category as "Communist News Network."

I'm really disappointed. They gave up their souls to save their lives.

Stay disappointed. They participated in a forced farce. I'll be their families are steaming mad and disppointed like you.

Thanks, daughter just honorably discharged from Air Force (intelligence). Have deep feelings about this kind of stuff!

[wideawake]

These guys are known throughout the world - the world is watching and young people especially are watching.

We are engaged in a long struggle - their weakness in the face of Muslim aggression will embolden new hostage takers.

Their actions must be evaluated - they cannot be ignored.

[Mo1]

Their actions must be evaluated - they cannot be ignored.

I never said we should ignore what happen

What I said was ... I will not hold them in judgment

[wideawake]

I never said we should ignore what happen

You definitely did not say that.

What I said was ... I will not hold them in judgment

As I said, their actions have to be evaluated. If the result of that evaluation is unfavorable, it is unfavorable. Abandoning one's self-respect in the face of violent threats from savages is strategically unwise precisely because it is cowardly.

[mgbgun2]

I agree. Our inclusiveness and inability to speak the harsh truth can only be viewed as weakness to a people who send their children to their death in order to further their cause of destroying us!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Point is, CNN (reference Jordan Eason) is effectively an Islamofacist outlet, sans coherence.

[roses of sharon]

Well I should hope not! LOL

[mgbgun2]

All suggestions welcome, oh, allusive one!!!

[Xenalyte]

Well, a verb would be a good start. You could even work yourself up to a whole sentence, if you get up some steam. ;)

(I'm just playin' with you. I didn't realize you were a new poster, or I'd not have said anything. And it's a great thread.)

[Xenalyte]

I went back to the thread, and this caught my eye:

Our inclusiveness and inability to speak the harsh truth can only be viewed as weakness to a people who send their children to their death in order to further their cause of destroying us!

And I thought it was good enough to repeat, so I did. Hear, hear!

[SlowBoat407]

Fine .. but if you didn't .. I still would not hold you in judgment

With all due respect, I don't think it's your judgement that wideawake is worried about.

I believe there was minimal coverage leading up to their release to elude Islam into thinking that they were not getting coverage. Most of the kidnappings are done strictly so a point can be made, and if no-one is covering the story, or making a huge point out of it, their MO was shot. After their release, their was more coverage to find out EXACTLY what was going on. It was their first public appearance and their was more emphasis on what they had to say. I agree that Fox should have clarified why there was minimal coverage after the fact. Fox has always been fair and balanced, and I would hate for them to lose that title for one mishap, they need to watch carefully how they handle these issues. Nice Post!
