Yet Top Media Ran More Than 6,000 Stories on Abu Ghraib Abuses
ALEXANDRIA, VA—The U.S. Defense Department released photos last week of an al-Qaeda torture chamber in Iraq, which showed various torture tools—blow torches, meat cleavers, hammers, drills, metal files—drawings of torture methods, and photos of actual victims found in another house in Karmah who had been burned, mutilated, and tortured in myriad ways.
To their credit, CNN and Fox News Channel ran stories on the declassified material. Yet nine days since the material was released, neither ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times nor The Washington Post has run a story with the photos of this shocking evidence of al-Qaeda’s barbarism.
Concerning the top media’s silence on the al-Qaeda torture chamber in Iraq, MRC President Brent Bozell issued the following statement:
“The elite media’s liberal bias is abundantly clear in this case. U.S. soldiers raided several al-Qaeda safe houses in Iraq and discovered stacks of evidence about how al-Qaeda tortures its victims. The tools, the drawings, and the photos are gruesome and clearly show what type of enemy the U.S. is facing.
“Yet most of the liberal media are deliberately silent. This is the same self-righteous liberal media that ran more than 6,000 stories and countless photos of Abu Ghraib and the abuse of prisoners there by several U.S. soldiers. Where are they now? Why will they not show the American people what al-Qaeda is actually doing in Iraq right now? Whose side are they on?
“Al-Qaeda’s crimes are a thousand-fold more brutal than anything done by any derelict U.S. soldier. Yet it’s obvious now that the liberal media want to focus on U.S. misdeeds, and alleged misdeeds, and theoretical misdeeds instead of giving the truth to the American people.”

What no panties!
What no panties!
My first thought, exactly. BUMP!
Exact-ta-mungo.
That's why they are called the ENEMEDIA!
but of course this is all in revenge for Abu Ghraib/sarc
Exactly.
Where are Lindsey Graham, John McCain and the rest of the hand wringers in the Stupid Party who were so upset over Abu Ghraib?
If 15 stories ran on the REAL al Queda torture house, versus 6000+ fake stories on NON-EXISTENT Abu Gharib torture, then it is possible to come up with a precise calculation of Media Bias.
The formula is that (6000 - 15)/6000 x 100% of the Mainstream Media stories are faked or overtly biased. That works precisely out to 99.75% of Mainstream Media being fake or heavily biased.
It is not helpful to a political party’s hyperbole of attacking another political party showing newspapers bias.
I thought they were called the ENEMEDIA because they’re always giving the public a hose-job.
ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, PBS and The Washington Post have been infiltrated, controlled and in essence working for the KGB for decades.
Let the layoffs continue. Let the stock price collapse to zero. Bye bye.
Good tag line!
It's not the "KGB", which is now defunct, but I think you're close. I have come to believe that there exists a network of Socialist organizations worldwide, loosely affiliated but no less connected. It's not a "conspiracy", as such, but a confluence of interests among those who consider themselves "Progressive". They've also made common cause with Palestinian and Islamic interests in the pursuit of their idea of "justice". As they used to say in the '60s, for the Socialist media, "there are no enemies to the Left", no matter their tactics or ultimate goals.

You have to ask? We destroyed the careers and lives of a number of American soldiers because they put panties on the heads of prisoners or let dogs bark at them. The stinking defeatist media talked about it for months, never a break until the soldiers were under the prison. Now they ignore this, but who can be surprised? They hate America but are too damned stupid to understand their heads would be the first to roll if our enemies had their way.
