Explain that?
had FDR been a republican - the nazis would have gotten "fair and balanced" coverage in the US media. they could never have shown the true effects of the holocaust, it would have demonized the nazis. its the same thing here - if they showed the true torture in iraq; this story, the one about the surgical removal of hands being spiked - then fewer americans would care that some prisoner was punched or nude or had a barking door go after him.
In order to deny a Republican President a second term, I believe that the present mainstream media would have looked the other way, concerning the concentration camps. Does anyone really believe that if this was Algore in the White House, with things going exactly the way that they have been going now, that the media would have published any of those prison photos.
