Thanks be for Al-Jazeerah, who leads us from the darkness of our hypocrisy and into the light of Holy Journalism! Yea, verily, without them NBC, ABC, and CBS would have no ethical equal...
Al-Jazeera - and their minions, the American News Networks - will not air the slaughter and dismemberment of their Holy Insurgency's female hostage. They will not show the hours and hours of footage of torture and beheadings left behind by their Holy Rebels. They will not interview the emaciated surviving hostages, left beaten and in chains. That blood is offered freely, by their own agents, and so it is not attractive.
No, instead, they will show the footage of an American Marine shooting one of the Holy Insurgents in the mosque.
The High Priests of the Evening News speak:
"Turn on the Holy Box of Broadcasting, O Heathen Nation - lay out the Sacred Scroll of the Old Gray Lady, Ye of Little Brain. The visage of your News Gods fill the airwaves and the columns - surely they will tell you what to think! No "allegedly's" will parse the statements of your Anchor-Deities, no qualifiers will besmirch the sacred Text of the Oracles of Printed Page. Instead, Judgment will flow as a river of words to all the people, condemning this Bastard Nation, this Heretic America, this Evil that stalks the Holy City of Fallujah - to Hell! to HELL!
Curse all for the camo they wear! Revile those who wear the Flag of the Free! Damn them to Hell for their incessant need to defend and protect this Nation of Infidels, this Land of Boy Scouts and Warriors!"
The Gods of the NewsWorld shriek, lips foaming, spittle flying - they demand a sacrifice. They have rutted upon the corpse of Abu Ghraib for too long now; they need fresh blood, fresh American fighters to revile and consume before the camera, upon the front pages. The News Gods hands tremble as they point to their Valkyries of Video, their Pantheon of Photographers - "Go forth, find one American Fighter worthy of our incessant hatred!"
They have found a bloodsoaked, weary Marine in Fallujah - surely he will sate their hunger for vengance.
Turn on your television and watch your News Gods tonight, America. The suits will be pressed, the expressions smug; but if you look closely, you can see the orgasmic tremble, the breathless waiting; they are waiting for their feast of blood, their new sacrifice -
One American Marine, to be torn apart before the world and consumed by the ravening Overlords of the Airwaves...
IMO The only mistake the Marine made was not capping the reporter also.
THANKS!!!
Outstanding! Beautiful!

Thanks Spooky. A friend of mine told me that on DU they were openly hoping for more US casualties. The old media is praying for our failure... waiting to rub our faces with the I-told-you-so- remark. The liberal media sounds more like Al-Jazeerah than an objective media. What's wrong with these people?
