Hypocritical Press

Anyone else notice?

The screaming hypocrisy of the main media outlets?

CNN
Says: "Out of Respect" They wont show the cartoons. (Look Near The
Bottom of the article)

CNN Now posts This:

"More
grisly photographs and videos have emerged"



What was that about
respect in an earlier story?

(Doesn't seem to apply when it's a soldier
in your own army.)




How about The Washington Post:


"Australian TV Network Airs More Abu Ghraib Photos"


Interestingly enough, most of the media outlets who have jumped
all over this puppy have no problem with either posting the
pics/videos for all to see. Or Links to them.

Surprisingly, our own very liberal and biased Great White Northern
media outlets haven't jumped on this yet; Shrug; it will probably
happen soon enough, that CBC isn't all oever this really surprises
me, but then, who knows what will turn up on the evening
"News" shows, ala 60 minutes?

Time for the News media who aren't supporting the rights of
Jyllands-Posten (and others) to admit they have a double standard:

Repeat after me:


We completely Support
Freedom of speech
Fine Print:

.....as long as it's ours...

We don't care about you or yours, no, really.




And to those who are using
this incident to explode
anger against the west here's a few tips:

Unpleasant as it may be sometimes, freedom of speech carries
some costs with it, including having your faith stomped on.
If you want the public to know that what was said about you
is/was untrue, then you educate them. You have to prove it
untrue;

Which means:


  • You don't burn down their businesses

  • kidnap and behead their relatives.

  • Or fly jets loaded with innocents into skyscrapers

  • you also don't Blow up marines

  • shoot aid workers there to help you

  • or raid Christian neighborhoods in Lebanon by the well organized bus load

That only loses you support dollars.

And then where are you?

Think about it.

(The answer is not, contrary to what your Imams tell you "Further
ahead")

UPDATE: O.K. I was too quick on the draw:

CBC is now falling in line, which means it will probably apear
on the national or sooner or later (or one of the other "News"
programs as they like to call them, which is an excuse for
hatchet jobs on those who don't lean their way.)
