CBS is Surestream feed, so it adjusts bitrate to your internet conditions, making it very stable. Decent sound , but picking up a lot of wind on the mics.

Both Sky and Fox are owned by Rupert Murdoch. Sky is the more liberal of the two.

Uh... It's past noon, where's Bob? Paging Baghdad Bob! It's time for your mid-day briefing! That is, if you have any clean briefs left...
Baghdad Bob is due at 5ish. If he doesn't show, that will tell you something about the regime.
To: Tree of Liberty
Nothing (by itself) with being more liberal....
Are they as accurate?

One bad thing about the NTV cam is if that Saddam statue goes down the palm tree hides the important half of it, where the action will occur. That's why I keep the "Open" dialog open and set to CBS :-). If I see a Bradley, an M1A1/2, or a crowd anywhere near that tree, I'm switchin'!

With respect to why we would leave Baghdad Bob on the air... remember we captured an Iraqi Colonel who was a forward lookout at the Baghdad airport a few days ago? He was found in a foxhole/bunker between the two runways. He was spotting for artillery crews.
He is now our EPW, and being held in a hangar at the airport. From a Sky article:
A captured Iraqi colonel being held in one of the hangars listened in astonishment as his information minister praised Republican Guard soldiers for recapturing the airport.
He looked at his captors and, as he realised that what he had heard was palpably untrue, his eye filled with tears. Turning to a translator, he asked: "How long have they been lying like this?"

In these situations, reality doesn't hit until the tanks start rolling in.
Maybe some good can come out of this for the media, after all, the definition of a conservative is a liberal who got mugged last night.
To: Robert A. Cook, PE
Are they as accurate?No. They are openly pandering the "US intentionally shot the Mighty Journalists" line, for example.

From Texas, which pretty much means I grew up on Pizza Hut and Papa Johns, which pretty much meant I grew up on pepperoni. ;)
There's a place here called Bronx Pizza that is outstanding. Very very thin hard crust. Another place called Pat/Oscar's that has good stuff.

Fox - Reuters reporting 100s of jubilant iraqis mobbed a group of Marines in East Baghdad "No more Saddam Hussein!" "We love you, we love you" they shouted at the Marines

Stealing cars, chairs, rugs, furniture, guns, anything and everything that isn't nailed down is walking today.

I don't know. I think MadIvan would have a better idea than me on that. They broadcast primarily in the UK.

MSNBC said the word is spreading through the people of Baghdad that Saddam is dead. "Ding Dong, the Witch is dead,
the Witch is dead,
the Witch is dead.
"Ding Dong, the Wicked Witch is dead."

I mentioned in yesterday's thread that I beieve we are keeping him on by design,
We could have taken him out days ago.
I think we will use him at a start of liason in communication w/people..

What I want to know is, how come looters always steal doors? I never thought that doors were a hot item, compared to some other fine selections that can be had during a good loot.
