Comments on: Shock: Zarqawi read the Guardian regularly

And these papers can’t seem to figure out why their circulation is way down, why they’ve had to lay off so many of their employees (the heartless bastids, if they practised what they preached they’d keep on payin’ these people to do their useless work) and why FOX News, talk radio and the internet are so popular. They don’t get it. “But all of my friends are liberals! Why aren’t our sales / ratings going up?” They live in their own little world where they’re always correct, despite the evidence to the contrary. Hmm, it makes me wonder what color the sky is on their planet.

Wonder if this is going to be held up as something positive by the paper?

Brian Ross – Loose Lips Sink Ships…

Brian Ross of ABC News reported the name and published the picture of the terrorist who turned and led to the death of Zarqawi. No, really he did. Can you say dead man walking?

From WSJ OpinionJournal, Best of the Web Today, June 9, 2006

“Zarqawi Found, but bin Laden Still Eludes US,” reads a Reuters headline. What will Reuters “report” when we get bin Laden? “Hitler whereabouts still unknown”?

ForYourEdification,

First, I enjoy your comments very much; I, like you, strive for accuracy and don’t mind at all to be enlightened.

If sinning means to elevate Tony Blair to be the best leader Europe has today (he is a European after all), then I’m glad to have sinned. Sane historians will view him in the caliber of Churchill, for our times. He defied his wife, his constituents, his party, his country, his continent and most of the world, to do the right thing.

I actually agree with all you wrote, with these two exceptions:

- The French have not become pathetic – in matters of courage they’ve almost always have been that way.

- The BBC is no longer just a European “smear merchant”; they are now a global enterprise; they are also here – this article is very telling:

On your points on the “American media” I agree with you and lizzee – hallelujah we didn’t have this media atmosphere during the second World War. We can “thank” the media for Viet Nam too, unfortunately. At least they should become citizens of another country and no longer claim to be Americans.

I’m so glad these characters weren’t in charge of the media in WW2.
I’d look rea-ally crappy as a lampshade.

ABC might as well just go ahead and call up Bin Laden in his cave to let him know the names of informants, classified information, and how to elude U.S. intelligence. There is something SERIOUSLY WRONG with our media. EARTH TO ABC: WHAT IN THE SH*T ARE YOU THINKING???????????????

It is a sin to compare Tony Blair to Europe. Most Europeans are still still languishing in and practicing Chamberlain’s cesspool style of appeasement, except this time, it’s Muslims. Just look, for instance, at what those pathetic French have become.

Regarding Al Jazeera, I believe that the BBC (far worse than any other smear merchant in Europe), NY Times (America’s BBC in print) and American media generally, do more harm and present a much bigger danger to us than does Al Jazeera. We should EXPECT slander, backstabbing and troop endangerment from Al Jazeera — but from Americans?

The American media have become the ENEMY of American troops and the ENEMY of the American people by denigrating them at every opportunity, publishing leaked classified documents, and generally being “civilly irresponsible.”

Ernie Pyle would throw up in the presence of these pathetic excuses for journalists.

“His hatred of the United States meant he did not trust American media reports, those close to the terrorist organisation say, so instead preferred British ones to gain a Western perspective on the war in Iraq”

Some badge of honor for the two rags in Britain! He could have added the BBC to his portfolio of utopian feed. And had no one informed him of the NYT? That would have made him less partial to British media and more nuanced.

To the good Brits – we don’t paint all your media with the same brush and your Tony Blair still rocks! He has more balls than all of Europe!

And liberals in 2 different countries, US and UK still can’t figure out how they keep losing elections. When terrorists leaders are using parts of your party platform in their newest audio/video releases, when they are getting their information and news from the same sources cited by so many liberals as authoritative, and when they use the same political games to hide behind on the one hand and to push thier agenda on the other hand you have to wonder how many losers can get into one lifeboat.
Liberals and Islamic fascists appear to be rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic while trying to convince everybody this is the greatest thing to ever happen.

ABC, like the rest of the MSM is nuts. And they wonder about the successful rise of Fox News Channel and internet blogs. God. Head-in-the-sand programming without a doubt!
