Anybody remember how during the First Gulf War, we kept seein’ gun camera footage of smart bombs takin’ out their targets? How come during THIS war, we only see enemy film footage, we never see what OUR guys are doin’? We never see them killin’ bad guys. I guess we don’t wanna OFFEND our enemies! Perhaps the enemedia has something to do with it?

I remember it, particularly the footage of the bridge being taken out as someone was racing over it.

I might be a little foggy on this but, I also thought the media beat themselves up over being manipulated by the Pentagon and their slick footage.

…maybe that’s why the drive by media refuses to show anything positive.

You also have to look at it from the Pentagon perspective.
Say a herd of jihadis are holed up in a neighborhood house somewhere…a neighborhood where they drove out the previous inhabitants. Next, you have footage of a 500 pounder taking out the house.

How many enemy and their allies in the drive by media would be claiming a family of 30 was killed in the house?

Chetry says: “CNN is the gold standard when it comes to journalism, and I am thrilled to be part of the team.”

RightWinged, my ‘condolences’.

And they’re still going on and on about Mr ‘Juba’. That’s all they’ve got. Good for them.

Oh, and 3D GRAPHICS!!! WINNARRRRRRRRRR!! And the post-production soft-lighting effects for Juba in his sacred little room (or whatever it is) just tops it off.

I’d actually like MEMRI to translate this. The whole thing seems to be ‘look at us and how effective we are in getting our videos onto news outlets’

Terrorists film themselves killing Americans for recruitment videos; CNN sees their video and puts it on the air; other terrorists see the CNN clip and put it in their own recruitment videos. From propaganda to news to propaganda again, like some sort of jihadist compost.

Gee, video recycling..and it doesn’t contribute (much) to global warming…or climate change…or carbon footrprints…or…skip it, dammit!
Liberal Left=Terrorist enablers. Does anyone doubt it anymore?

The media threw a royal fit after Gulf war 1 about how they werent able to cover news at the front.

This is the end result. We should have kept them in their cages.

HAHA Couldn’t agree more.

This is the end result. We should have kept them in their cages.

Helen Thomas doing a striptease

Gee thanks for that visual.

How come during THIS war, we only see enemy film footage, we never see what OUR guys are doin’?

CNN and the rest have decided that, instead of “No News is Good News”, No Good News is News. They want the U.S. Military to look like they are loosing so the MSM and others can insist we’re dying for a “mistake” but the MSN underestimates the long term effect of this type of reporting. Just look at the declining ratings for most of the MSM for an example; They are loosing viewers faster than Helen Thomas doing a striptease, as I have said before. Americans are getting tired of all the negativity that the MSM is reporting.

You can bet heads are going to roll at CBS, ABC, and NBC. CNN obviously has far better connections with the jihadists.

Will Brian Williams be granted a head-nodding interview with Zawahiri soon? Will Perky Katie don a burqa to gain favor with Al Jazeera? Can Charlie Gibson find a way to send better long-range scopes to Juba.

Curious minds want to know.

From propaganda to news to propaganda again, like some sort of jihadist compost.

Sorry, Allah, I have to dispute the “news” part of that sentence. It was still anti-American propaganda when it was run on al-CNN.

This should surprise no one. When you consider how similar terrorist propaganda and Democrat rhetoric have become over the past few years, it was inevitable that they’d start doing joint operations. When two organizations share so many goals, collusion like this is natural.

why does the narrator go out of his way to identify CNN?

So the nice little jihadi’s know where to send their thank-you notes.
