    If this turns out to be true, will the media still continue to ignore it? My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

      Let's parse your question out for a second:

      So there's no proof that this is true. Only one man's "beliefs". Versus this[^].

      Continue to ignore what? Something that hasn't been proven? Should the media start paying attention to something that hasn't been proven? Have you contacted FoxNews about why they're ignoring this? No? Oh man, you're slacking.

        One man who was there, witnessed it. The report you cited was based on inteligence at the time. It is not conclusive.

        Something that has just as much creditabilty, if not more, than any other accusation.

            No, I was talking about the MSM. But since new stations like CNN like to make deals with Sadamn, not showing unflattering news so they caould get better access, and the left love CNN. I can see why you like them and dislike Fox so much. Oh, and BTW, From a study from Columbia U. Fox was a lot more balanced than any other news network or MSM.

                I love how the right can no longer cry about the media only being controlled by liberals who are out to destroy them. Now they have the conservative media who does their best to protect them by pointing fingers at the left. X|

                  Maybe you need to do some research Media Bias Is Real, Finds UCLA Political Scientist "Meanwhile, almost all major media outlets tilt to the left." "The fourth most centrist outlet was "Special Report With Brit Hume" on Fox News, which often is cited by liberals as an egregious example of a right-wing outlet. While this news program proved to be right of center, the study found ABC's "World News Tonight" and NBC's "Nightly News" to be left of center. All three outlets were approximately equidistant from the center, the report found."

                      When we point fingers now, it's only to make fun. I no longer complain about the liberal media because a non-leftist viewpoint is now properly represented. Sure we only have one station, but I'm happy with it. Gone are the days where Dan Rather's cronies could falsify evidence to support erroneous claims against a sitting president without question. It's comforting to know that America is no longer held hostage by the crumbs of the Soviet Propoganda Machine! :cool:

                        Maybe you need to look at reality[^]. The U.S. media are rapidly being monopolized by a dwindling number of parent corporations, all of whom have conservative economic agendas. The media are also critically dependent upon corporations for advertising. As a result, the news almost completely ignores corporate crime, as well as pro-labor and pro-consumer issues. .... Conservatives often promote the myth that the U.S. media are liberal. This myth serves several purposes: it raises public skepticism about liberal news stories, hides conservative bias when it appears, and goads the media to the right. GOP strategist William Kristol also reveals another reason: "I admit it: the liberal media were never that powerful, and the whole thing was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures." (1) In unguarded moments, however, even far-right figures like Pat Buchanan come clean: "The truth is, I've gotten fairer, more comprehensive coverage of my ideas than I ever imagined I would receive." He further conceded: "I've gotten balanced coverage and broad coverage -- all we could have asked… For heaven sakes, we kid about the liberal media, but every Republican on earth does that."

                          Whoa whoa whoa! Hold your horses there, buddy! Newsweek clearly says that there's nothing to it! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11299205/site/newsweek/[^] I don't know if there is anything to it, but I find it funny that MSNBC/Newsweek would immediately put out a story entitled "Saddam Tapes: What They Don't Prove" when they apparently have not even heard the tapes.

                                    Why should he do a live interview? My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

                                      Maybe you need to look at reality[^]. The U.S. media are rapidly being monopolized by a dwindling number of parent corporations, all of whom have conservative economic agendas. The media are also critically dependent upon corporations for advertising. As a result, the news almost completely ignores corporate crime, as well as pro-labor and pro-consumer issues. .... Conservatives often promote the myth that the U.S. media are liberal. This myth serves several purposes: it raises public skepticism about liberal news stories, hides conservative bias when it appears, and goads the media to the right. GOP strategist William Kristol also reveals another reason: "I admit it: the liberal media were never that powerful, and the whole thing was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures." (1) In unguarded moments, however, even far-right figures like Pat Buchanan come clean: "The truth is, I've gotten fairer, more comprehensive coverage of my ideas than I ever imagined I would receive." He further conceded: "I've gotten balanced coverage and broad coverage -- all we could have asked… For heaven sakes, we kid about the liberal media, but every Republican on earth does that."

                                        So that it can go like this: Dan Rather: Dick, why did you attempt to murder this person? Dick Cheney: I didn't try to m... Dan Rather: Is it because you found out that he was switching parties? Dick Cheney: He was switching parties? What? Dan Rather: Yes, he was. Is that the reason you tried to kill him in much the same way you try to kill Democracy in America? Dick Cheney: Hey now Dan. I thought this was about my hunting accident. Where did you hear he was switching parties. He never told me. Dan Rather: (Squiggles on some paper and presents it to Cheney) Here, Dick. Right here. This piece of paper is signed by your friend. It says, "I are quitting the partie becuze your bad!" Dick Cheney: You just wrote that on that piece of paper. Dan Rather: No I didn't. And now we break to our sponsor MoveOn.Org.
