I called !

She said it's FCC regulations, etc.

I said you're supressing the News, especially the American side.

Then, I said, You're Anti-American, aren't you - you don't want Americans to get outraged, do you ...???

Click.

Keep calling!

Not a bad first post...sorry it took you 4 years to find something worth posting!!

You're right about them airing that which suits their agenda.

My teeth-clenched phone call went like this:

I'm calling from Tucson, Arizona. I hold your organization personally responsible for the murder of this young man in Iraq. You did not have to run the photographs, no military coverup had taken place. CBS's actions were seditious and treasonous. Is that recorded? "Yes, um, it is duly noted," said the rattled female voice. I hung up and posted this. The vibe I got is that CBS is very scared.

If I was "indifferent" to this issue, I wouldn't be participating on this thread, would I???

I had the same reaction to your first post. I didn't think you cared about this issue a bit. How dare you be so smug as to brag that you won't be calling CBS, because of course the "can't" show such a video.

Quite obviously, you just don't care a whit about what's right and wrong Willie. You just care about promoting your pet issues.

What CBS did in the first place, showing those pictures, was wrong. People told them, very publicly, that they were wrong. They now refuse to admit it, and you defend their position because "they can't show the video".

I am shocked they have a number straight to the CBS Evening News newsroom.

I am more shocked this number hasn't been used before on FR!

OMG!
I watched it.
These are the monsters we're fighting.
Damn them all.

I'm sorry, but everyone ought to view it.
It needs to be seen.

I am now more convinced than ever
that these people are
HINOS --- humans in name only.

No, trust me, that's okay...I was just being my normal obtuse self!

I can't imagine that today has been a good day for any of us.

very first post - lurker since 2000...so be gentle. do ya'll remember the famous video and pic of the saigon police chief shooting the vc in the head? the networks had no qualms about running that vid, but it fit their agenda.

Exactly. And what is the difference to our media between that and this? That episode turned the public against America's involvement in that war. This video would do the opposite.

Very good first post, btw.

I have criticized what you do, not who you are.

Neither of which has anything to do with the topic of this thread.

I have not been shown the same courtesy.

You initiated the exchange with a discourteous reply,
so you have no reason to expect a courteous response.

I am a bit weird here.......I agree that showing the photos was okay.

But, they should also show this horrid video.

I don't think posting it is necessary...many of us have seen enough gore (no pun intended...yuck) today.

Better yet:

Tell CBS that they are obviously on the side of Al Quead and our enemies, and that we won't forget it, not ever.

Good first post...I remember that very well. The media had no qualms about showing all the horrors in Vietnam.

But, like John Kerry himself, you employ a two-pronged approach of personal attack and protestations about personal attack.

YOU'RE either with US, or WITH THE TERRORISTS

I think we know where most of the media/leftists allegiance lies....
