well, thank you.

it is indeed rather sobering to witness the behavior of some around here.

blind acceptance of official PR isn't sensible by any stretch of the imagination. Anyway you started flinging nationalist shit pretty much on day 1 of this story.

well, it's just a matter of time before media conglomerates decide how bandwidth is allocated. But, it appears you have given up on making any kind of sensible argument.

did you forget to take your meds again?

Quit dodging. you claimed it was to satisfy me when some "internet punters" at the AP want exactly what I want.

it must suck to have nothing but your crapola to counter with

"The AP is protesting the Obama administration's refusal to expedite the news organization's request for access to photos and other documents from the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. In a written appeal, the AP said that bureaucratic delays "harm the public interest and allow anonymous U.S. officials to selectively leak details of the May 2 mission that resulted in bin Laden's death," according to the AP's report of its own filing." http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/468463-AP_Seeks_Expedited_Osama_FOIA_Review.php

are you OK rob? you seem unhinged.

"Since The New York Times reported on the hidden ties between media military analysts and the Pentagon on April 20, the three major broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- have still not mentioned the report at all, according to a Media Matters for America search* of the Nexis news database. Times reporter David Barstow wrote that "the Bush administration has used its control over access and information in an effort to transform" these military analysts, many of whom have clients with an interest in obtaining Pentagon contracts, "into a kind of media Trojan horse -- an instrument intended to shape terrorism coverage from inside the major TV and radio networks."

people got to see Jim Morrison's corpse.

"In Media Wars: News at a Time of Terror, MediaChannel founder and editor, Danny Schechter, "the News Dissector," critically examines media coverage since 9/11. Schechter analyzes what has been covered and, more tellingly, left out, in news coverage of the terrorist attacks and their aftermath. Drawing from the reporting of over one thousand worldwide radio, newspaper, television, and internet affiliates, the result is a scathing account of how the media has become a megaphone for the U.S. military and its war on terror. More than just a critique, Schechter suggests a series of changes to improve our news sources and return them to the vital role a free and independent press must play to preserve a democracy ."

There is a world of possibilities between imprisonment for drug use and making these drugs legal while destroying the social safety net (Paul's solution).

you don't think that demonizing someone without ever answering to the point because your arguments suck is a sign of moral turpitude?

No, that one is for you and your years worth of despicable demonizing those who say things you don't like, without ever answering to the point of course. Like a neofascist thug would do. I can only address what you show of yourself, and the only thing you show is verbally abusing others.

Such humor! Could you go again one more time about how skeptics of official PR are some kind of nutjob? That was brilliant and hilarious. You haven't used that 'joke' enough. So funny HAHAHAHAHA

Ron Paul ignoring the public interest isn't particular to that statement, it's the corner stone of his ideology.

Nationalists trying to shout down progressives

You guys got going with the retarded bashing early today. How humorous LOLZ

He is most probably dead, although the circumstances of his death are uncertain, which is baffling considering the level of intelligence and manpower dedicated to the enterprise.

you certainly protest a lot even though you weren't even mentioned. Although,you obviously could have been mentioned in this context since you resorted to the same attempts at shouting down skeptics of official PR.

Major fail dude: trying to shout down skeptics of official PR because your nationalism gets in the way is not humorous anytime or anywhere.

and? more insipid nothing from the service neanderthal.

because you call your performance of the last 2 weeks in the OBL thread "humor"? You are seriously deluded or perhaps my advice about not smoking the rug was way too late.

Such excellent humor. Let's forget about arguments, let's cut to the chase. Let's go for insults right away! woohoo, what fun!
