Where’s that nut with the Dinosaur Media Death Watch Alert when you need him. Seems like these people are alive and well causing calamity all over the world.

“For that reason I would appeal to the media to be very careful about what they broadcast.”
Well, they were very careful. Your mistake is believing they give a crap about your safety. If you doubt the media sides with the terrorists, you haven’t been paying attention.

Surprise, surprise. What is it that people don’t get.

The media don’t give a damn about anything but the “story”. They don’t give a damn about people, America or for that matter Russia or China. They are self absorbed fools who believe their faces on camera or their names in print is proof they are substantial.

Plato said it best...”Wise men talk because they have something to say, fools, because they have to say something.”

It is not clear from the story how CNN learned of the couple’s exact location.

The MSM acts differently, when one of their own is at risk. When a CBC reporter was taken hostage in Afghanistan recently, there was a total news blackout for nearly a month (lifted only when she was released).

This is nothing new for CNN. They knew all about Saddam’s atrocities, but looked the other way in order to keep their Baghdad office open.

In combat, rescues, whatever, I think the first casualties should be reporters and camera people.

They used to be the good guys serving the troops and their friends and families back home. Today, they won't even wear a flag lapel pin or call a terrorist a terrorist so as not to offend them.

Capture, remove and detain or shoot on sight. Either way, get them out of the situation so they don't get good people killed.

CNN did the same thing about where troops were in Desert Storm—will never forget or forgive as my son was there at the time!

There is nothing pro-Western about CNN. CNN International especially.

They proudly serve their new anti-Western overlords.
