Wow, this is a strong indictment.

I catch strategically framed comments in the media all the time. Today i saw a report on Nick Berg on MSNBC that said "Bergs family says Nick was in the custody of US forces (of course) the white house has denied this."
Seeming acceptance of anything said by the Bergs and obvious suspicion of the govt.

Exhibit A: Just a minute ago on abc news, they teased a package that appeared to be about two disc jockeys getting fired for while cutting jokes while playing the Berg tape audio; but in the package itself, without so much as taking a breath, they immediately segued into "conservative commentator Sean Hannity says he played the tape on his radio show because..." (Sean was a little inarticulate but eventually came out with 'an attempt to balance the saturation of Abu Gharib prison photos' -- a fair answer but one that missed the point due to abc's intent to snooker Sean with this piece).
First of all, the set-up on Hannity by abc in pre-loading the first part of the package with some loser disc jockeys is just heinous and completely unacceptable. But then they compounded the problem by talking to some lib prof weenie who kissed abc ass by suggesting the media has done a good job, having "been consistent by not showing the Perl tapes, the American contractor tapes, the Berg tape, etc." How ludicrous!
Nowhere at anytime did abc ask the dubious prof or even Hannity the pertinent point: Denying those tapes their due broadcast consitutes a grevious error of omission by abc and an abysmal denial of objective news coverage. And they wonder why we don't trust them anymore...

Massachusetts Sen. Teddy Kennedy thundered about Rumsfeld's failure to react in "a timely fashion" and demanded his resignation. Funny. That's what Mary Jo Kopechne's parents said when Teddy left their daughter submerged overnight in Chappaquiddick Creek before reporting the fatal accident. Tell it like it is Hal!
Now if the GOP eunuchs in the Senate can trumpet the same hypocrisy PUBLICALLY.

Unfortunately we can't appeal to CBS or CNN's patriotism, since they don't have any. So we have to make a list of their sponsors and make it clear we're no longer buying whatever they're selling.
