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

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

And can anyone tell me how to get this to as many media people as possible? I'm sure many, especially radio guys, would like to report it, especially since it's from a Pakistani source. Anyone have e-mail lists? Please publish.

What the Media is Churning Out is Trash

Now there's a standard truism if I ever heard one.

And yeah, it is a d*%n good article.

...the journalists themselves are hostages...

i will contribute two cents to their ransom fund.

i will contribute two cents to their ransom fund.

I think you are overpaying for the value received.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I can't believe it! We may have just found a profession that can take the place of lawyers in all those profession jokes! ;)

Is Dan Akroyd a conservative?

[Humidston]

Yes, it was a good piece.... Ummm, up to a point. Since this Masood guy knows all the story why didn't he print it in this piece?

I kept waiting for the REAL story...

...the Taliban consulate in Quetta. They treat journalists seeking visas for Afghanistan in a very hostile way, treating all of them as US spies.

Are you telling me the solution to our media problem is as simple as destroying the Taliban consulate? This must be done at once!

It looks to me like it has different links for different articles. Here is the one for this article.

churning out trash

Hugh--when I picked the article from the front page, it showed no such specific link. I'm learning though....

I am thinking about last summer when the press was griping about Crawford, Texas; HAR!

[Hugh Akston]

Great article.

And to think, propaganda wars work because of these guys.

"What the Brisitsh public wants first, last, and all the time is the News. Remember that the Patriots are in the right and are going to win. The Beast stands by them four-square. But they must win quickly. The British public has no interest in a war which drags on indecisively. A few sharp victories, some conspicuous acts of personal bravery on the Patriot side, and a colourful entry into the capital. That is the Beast policy for the war."
