What the Media is Churning Out is Trash (Great Article)

And can anyone tell me how to get this to as many media people as possible?

And what would they do with the information, dis their own "news"? I can see some of the radio talk shows having some interest, but I think that's pretty much preaching to the choir.

The MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER is usually interested in anything that will discredit the Propaganda Ministry. You might send them a copy of the article.

For a list of the major(lamestream) media outlets, you might try our very own Media Bias Chapter's CCRM Rolodex.

This website doesn't have separate "links" to separate articles. Can anyone explain?

The site uses frames; this is the relevant code in the outermost window:

<frameset border="0" frameborder="0" rows="100%,0">

The various 0's cause the frames to be invisible, so you don't realize they're there. The text you want lies within the inner frame

http://www.jang.com.pk/thenews/nov2001-daily/08-11-2001/main/main2.htm

To find this address, right click on some white space in the article itself, scroll to Properties, and copy the Address (URL). This assumes you're using Internet Explorer; I imagine Netscape to be similar.

I can hear and see Donald Pleasence uttering those inspired lines. Thank you.

But from the same web site I saw this:

Pakistan a potential buyer of F-35 aircraft

By Muhammad Abdul Qudoos

DUBAI: Pakistan is one of the four potential customers of the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, according to analysis by the US experts made available at the current Dubai 2001 air-show.

The development of the F-35 JSF was awarded to Lockheed Martin on October 26. The three other potential customers of the aircraft are Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey. The UAE would be far down the list of buyers due to its commitment to help develop the Block 60 F-16, which will likely be in service for at least 40 years.

Lockheed Martin beat Boeing in the competition to develop the fourth generation JSF, which will be sold for about the same price as an F-16. Lockheed plans to keep both F-35 and F-16 in production.

The US and export markets are expected to create demand for 3,000 aircraft worth some $200 billion over the life of the programme. Raymond Jawaroski of Forecast International/DMS in Connecticut was quoted as saying in the analysis that anyone who flies F-16s, or even F-5s, has to be considered a potential customer of F-35 because it has essentially the same type of mission profile.

Anyone who has ever read "Scoop", by Evelyn Waugh, already knew as much. Anyone that hasn't should do so instantly.

Finally, and article that cuts through the BS and exposes the truth. As I suspected, all 'information' being cited by the radical leftist press is entirely from the Taliban and lacks any independent confirmation whatsoever.

Please remember that after the election recount, the 3 networks were proposing a merger to issue one nightly news. They had no bureaus or reporters abroad when Sept 11 came. This has been a very big news year, but they still want to be spoonfed by the government. Bless Rumsfeld for his patience. Geraldo will go to the war, however, and he won't be wanting his expenses paid by the defense department. The rest are silk stocking pansies.

I kept waiting for the REAL story...

The real story is pretty clear: No one outside the Taliban iron curtain knows the real story, so people are making up whatever stories suit their own agendas and the newsies are reporting it because they have to report something.

I like this guy. If he knew Dan Ackroyd, I bet he'd say "Christine Amanpour, you ignorant slut."

That's pretty much what I say, everytime I see her sorry ass on TV ....

From Time Magazine-"It's impossible to verify these reports right now because no journalists are in the area at all — this part of the war is being reported entirely by phone. We're frantically trying to call sources inside Mazar-i-Sharif right now, but all the lines are jammed. Still, the sources who have fed us this information have proved fairly reliable in the past. Three Alliance commanders in the area have told identical stories. And it's a claim they're unlikely to make unless it were true. They are confident that they'll be in Mazar tomorrow. "

Oh , really?
