"They have a mindset and make the facts fit their mindset." ~ MEG33
Here is a fact that they couldn't figure out how to make fit, so we didn't hear a peep about it:
"....a word about the resignation/firing of CNN's chief news guy Eason Jordan for having suggested, in remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that journalists have been killed by coalition forces in Iraq on purpose.
Let me related (sic) this short story: About a year ago, two CNN journalists were killed in an ambush on the road between Hillah and Baghdad.
Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt - the military briefer - asked for a meeting of the bureau chiefs of the major western media. At that meeting he expressed his sorrow over the murder - by terrorists - of the CNN crew and asked the bureau chiefs to take down his personal cell phone number.
He told them that if any of their reporters or crews got into trouble - any time of the day or night - to call him. "Don't worry about protocol," he said. "Get to me as quickly as you can, and we'll try to get help to your people as quickly as we can."
That meeting was never, to my knowledge, reported." ~ Rich Galen 2-14-05 http://www.mullings.com

It doesn't fit their mindset...the script is already written. This would interrupt their story that is implanted in the brain....and that colors their reporting.
What a great find!! Thanks for posting that.
And Old Media loses market share every month and they wonder why?
