OT-Anatomy of a photograph
http://www.zombietime.com/sf_rally_s..._a_photograph/
Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |

Im rather fascinated by the deafening silence on the Left by this post. It should have incurred dire warnings, drivel about Delay and so forth. Could it be that its so overt..that they simply cannot respond? Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.

It's the provincial paper, not a serious news paper. Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner Im not sure what you were looking for from the left, Gunner. So what? A newspaper used a photo that looked good in it's marketing...their job (like Limbaugh's) is not to tell the news but to sell advertising. They do that by getting readers (listeners) to grab a paper (tune in) and the pic they used had "grab", even if it was a gross distortion. Using Limbaugh again, he does no different. Media is not about facts, it's about numbers that sell advertising. Limbaugh lies (misquotes, uses wrong "facts", lies of omission) on an almost daily basis. So what? He sells advertising by being entertaining enough to get people to tune in which is really his job. Anyone who thinks the media's job is actually providing "news" needs to get a dose of reality. So far, the only media personality I've ever heard admit this fact is Tom Leykis. He makes it clear that he is not there to do anything but be a whore to get listeners in order to sell advertising and make himself rich. On a second note, what's the difference between this pic, and pics of "kind and caring" people trying to save Terri Schivo? They were presented as individuals standing up for what they believed yet were organized by radical nutcase right-wing christians. The difference? Nothing but your (and everyone's) distorted viewpoint caused by which end of the right-left scale they stand upon. From the left side of the scale, these seemingly caring christian individuals were grossly distorting the facts to further their own agenda and weren't thinking for themselves, having been "duped" by passinate talk of nutty christian leaders. From the right wing side, these good christians were fighting to protect someone who couldn't fight for themselves. You got no left wing knee jerk response because there is nothing really to respond to. The post you made was correct....the pic was a distortion of the whole. So? It happens day in and day out on the left and right. I'm still not sure what kind of response you expected. All you did is truthfully point out what we all SHOULD know but like to igno Media sources (left, right and center) sell advertising any way they can. It's their job. The real goal should be to recognize when the side we support is doing the distorting. We all hate to admit it but even those we like to align ourselves with (left and right) lie quite often to get their point across. Koz |

Koz Koz...sorry old buddy..but that was propaganda, not an attempt to sell advertising. Propaganda of the worst kind. The Big Lie. One that the Left engages in 24/7 Im reminded of the newspaper headlines..."Cop Slays Teen" It wast until you got down in the 2nd paragraph that you found out that the 19yr old male decedent had been involved in a string of armed robberies over 2 states, which included rape, and 2 murders. Thats propaganda at its most vile. Look what they are trying to do to Bill Bennet currently. Typical Leftist propaganda attempt. Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.

After "watching" this for thirty years, I find it very difficult to take anything reported by the major media seriously. Or realistically. tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich Most journalists these days couldn't investigate a missing chocolate cake at a pre-school without a Democrat office holder telling them what to look for, where, and what significance it all has. |
