Fox truely has spectacular footage of the 3rd Infantry Division as it fought its way into Baghdad and they are right to tout this exclusive video.

But absolutely idiotic is the director that shows only 3/4 of it while hiding the other 1/4 of the screen behind a banner of nonsense. Fox might be the most watched Cable News Channel but it's obvious the director is not one of those watching the coverage. Someone at Fox is not paying attention.

Ya...the 'lower fourth' is irritating...

But whats more irritating is the sanitized view...

I got the feeling this is going to get me banned kicked...despite having been a freeper for 5 years under two nicks...

I am little pissed off that the media [left,right,world] has sanitized this...

What happened to: we report you decide?

Why not show some baseball scores while they're at it? After all, it IS spring training....

I give FNC the first chance, then I often switch to PMSNBC. PMSNBC has very decent war coverage IMHO.

Can you imagine having watched Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon with a banner running across the bottom?

Actually the season has started. But it might as well be spring training as the Red Sox have been playing in Tampa and Baltimore. They are going to have trouble playing in Fenway because we still have snow on the ground up here in Boston!
