Caught a lie on CNN HN

[CaboWaboAddict]

This morning, I watched coverage of the bombing in London on CNN Headline News. They showed pictures of a bomb that was captured, undetonated. It clearly showed a torn bag, a cell phone with wires attached, a detonator, and plastic explosives.

This evening when I got home, the ticker on CNN HN says that "no unexploded devices have been found."

:weird:

I wish I would have recorded it.

I doubt that is a lie, but just a stupid mistake/misinformation on the editor's part. What does CNN have to gain by the fact that a bomb was/wasn't exploded?

ACTION ALERT:
Paul Harvey's Tribute to Slavery, Nukes, Genocide
Hateful rant shows Disney's double standard on speech

July 1, 2005

Disney/ABC radio personality Paul Harvey, one of the most widely listened to commentators in the United States, presented his listeners on June 23 with an endorsement of genocide and racism that would have been right at home on a white supremacist shortwave broadcast.

Harvey's commentary began by lamenting the decline of American wartime aggression. "We're standing there dying, daring to do nothing decisive because we've declared ourselves to be better than our terrorist enemies--more moral, more civilized," he said. Drawing a contrast with what he cast as the praiseworthy nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II, Harvey lamented that "we sent men with rifles into Afghanistan and Iraq and kept our best weapons in their silos"--suggesting that America should have used its nuclear arsenal in its invasions of both countries.

Harvey concluded:


"We didn't come this far because we're made of sugar candy. Once upon a time, we elbowed our way onto and across this continent by giving smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans. That was biological warfare. And we used every other weapon we could get our hands on to grab this land from whomever.

"And we grew prosperous. And yes, we greased the skids with the sweat of slaves. So it goes with most great nation-states, which--feeling guilty about their savage pasts--eventually civilize themselves out of business and wind up invaded and ultimately dominated by the lean, hungry up-and-coming who are not made of sugar candy."


Harvey's evident approval of slavery, genocide and nuclear and biological warfare would seem to put him at odds with Disney's family-friendly image. The media conglomerate syndicates Harvey to more than 1,000 radio stations, where he reaches an estimated 18 million listeners. Disney recently signed a 10-year, $100 million contract with the 86-year-old Harvey.

In 2004, Disney forbid its Miramax subsidiary to distribute Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11, even though Miramax was the principal investor in the film. A Disney executive told the New York Times (5/5/04) that it was declining to distribute the film because, in the paper's words, "Disney caters to families of all political stripes and believes Mr. Moore's film...could alienate many."

One wonders whether Disney executives are worried about alienating families who oppose slavery, nuclear war and Native American genocide.

Media outlets have people to answer to, which usually has to do with advertising, people yadda yadda, complicity.....

[ElChevelle]

If it weren't for the media, we'd be fed political propaganda and be subject to brainwashing.
Bush has been brainwashed so many times by oil tycoons that his brain is full of holes, much like my ragged 80's jeans.

The downfall of the media came with the advent of advertising in papers that made them a lot cheaper than their competitors forcing everyone to follow.
