yet they would never in a million years dare show the
bodies of murder victims or people smashed up in a car
crash. this is a serious double standard and it makes me
sick

We need to see more. We can't ignore a war. That rhymes and
you can't deny it!
That was actually all a happy accident

simple: because the news knows that most common folk think
that brown people aren't as important as white people

they just showed a small child being dug out of a bombed out
pile of rubble in iraq on the news. they explained that he
died shortly after the footage was shot.

If we don't see the images of a war and it's consequences
it's bad. It's maybe one of the worst kinds of censorship. A
murder is different because it's more indivivdual, more
personal. It does not affect a country as a whole if we do
not see the latest victim of the scissor killer. However
it's really bad if we can't see the victims of war. If we
didn't then governments could say whatever they like and
most people would believe it. Isn't it like that in america
(i don't know). Anyway you should all be very greatful that
we see this stuff, instead of being bullshed (bullshed-it's
like bullshitted but it just rolls better, I'm sure you'll
agree)

yeah its a consequence of war but really i don't think
people think or care about it anymore. i think overall
americans have become apathetic about the war. "why care
about something you can't change?" type thinking. i doubt
many people who watched what i saw on the news just now gave
much of a shit. the extent of anyone caring is saying "this
is gross" but thats it really, isnt it? humans are weird.

the anchors can be like look these brown savages are
slaughtering babies

i've seen footage of allsorts of vile human behaviour and
some date back to 30 years before i was born (The world At
War etc), whilst it has value to educate, the disgusting way
the modern media revel in this sort of thing conerns me....

tv and papers lap up any story that will earn them more
attention/money, which is equally as ruthless and immoral as
the people they report.
