The media NOW is outraged!
I won't look at pictures of 9-11. I won't watch any videos. If I see any, I switch it off immediately. And I don't want to see that video when it is broadcast. What it the point? Is there some reason why folks should re-traumatize themselves again and again? Perhaps I am too sensitive about it because I was in lower Manhattan that day. I don't know. But I know the buildings went down, I know who did it, I know a lot of people died, I know that some brave fireman willingly died that day. I know all that. Why on earth would I want to watch it once, let alone a dozen times. No thanks. I don't see that as doing any good. In my mind, we should look ahead. We should look at what we can do now. What we should do tomorrow. But hey, that's just my opinion, off topic as it may be.
As for the rest of this stuff, Rush has some good points. The media definitely feel it when its one of their own. That's probably natural. But it also exposes the phoniness of their supposed objectivity. And their selective sensationalism.
How manly? Here are some pretty flowers for you to look at. Hope they help:
I don't recall any of them being as upset over the deaths of thousands of Americans on 9/11 as they seem to be over Mr. Pearl (especially Cristiane Amanpour).
That's pretty funny, loser. If you want to watch Faces of Death videos to make you feel tough, go ahead.
But, hey...they were JUST "common-worker media folks" and it was nato/hato doing the deed...klintoon and his henchmen/women could do now wrong....remember?
Rush writes as though the media has splashed the horror and gore of the WTC all over our TV screens and newspapers. This is nonsense. We have seen only images that are antiseptic compared with the reality. And that's appropriate. Only a psychotic would want to see EVERYTHING at the WTC just as it actually was. The media, in not showing us the Pearl beheading, is being perfectly consistent with their treatment of the WTC. Sometimes Rush strains to make a hit on the liberal media, and it's just a cheap, and unsound, point.
I heard it reported that Danny Pearl wanted to "Tell the terrorist story", to make the world understand what they are trying to communicate to us and why they have lowered themselves to communicate in terroristic terms. Well, he did. He got his wish, and in terms no one can misunderstand exactly what the terrorist are trying to communicate to us. They just want us to die. The common sense American already understood this before Danny ever took that fateful step out his front door on his risky journey to death. Danny's liberal thought processes must not have understood it.
In his wife's letter to the public she basically stated that we should continue to try to understand the terrorist and why they do these things. Do I think Danny deserved his horrible death? No one deserves to die the way he did, no one has the right to inflict death like that on another. And we will kill all those worthless dog's to prove that very point.
What has jarred the press is that no longer does their pandering to animals reward them by allowing them to be safe from being savaged. They have finally run into an evil that has no respect for their intellectual sensibilities, and has only on thing to say, "Death to Infidels". Now, for the first time they are swinging from the horns of a delima, how to defend the indefensible.
I don't need to watch TV or some video to know what death looks like. And none of the death I've ever seen or touched ever made me feel tough. Just the opposite.
There are a lot of folks that need to see this kind of death. Then maybe they might understand that you can't "deal" with these types of devoids that walk the Earth. Those that look human but are not. Types like those that were involved in 9/11 and slit Pearl's throat. The same types that kill in this country ever day. The types that butcher little kids for fun.
I took your post to be from someone that thinks that if we don't look at horrors and those that do horror then horrors don't exist. If I was wrong about that I apologize.
The real unvarnished images of what happened on 9/11 and the carnage afterwards should be seen and understood by every adult in this country. And they should see what they did to the WSJ reporter too. And if the little girl in CA comes up dead, and it's likely she will, they should see what was done to her.
Sorry if I misunderstood you. Your comment about the "faces of death" videos shows you certainly misunderstand me.
On Friday, January 30, 1948 Gandhi was "assassinated" on his way to the prayer ground.
And a very peaceful assassination it was too I understand. < /sarcasm>
