Impeach the media --- they lied to us
 

The media spread the false information that there were 12 survivors of the mine disaster.

Obviously they lied to us.

Obviously they should be impeached.

Obviously we should start daily threads with titles like:
"For those of you who doubt that they lied to us"
or
"Has there ever been a worse media than the 2006 media?"

For you pro-media guys, what will it take for you to admit that the media lied?

Don't give me that bit that they were just passing along misinformation they received. We've established in this forum that if you say a wrong thing, you are a LIAR, regardless if you knew it was wrong.

The media lied to us.

Where is the outrage?

No doubt Bush was complicit in the lie as well. Impeach him too.

hahahahahahahaha. Looks like someone is getting a little sensitive to those pesky things called "facts".

But let me take the Beer and Pizza approach:

The media's reports are being taken out of context. I won't explain what the proper context is or how the statements were, in fact, not lies when considered in that context, though. You'll just have to have the same level of trust and faith that I do.

Re: Impeach the media --- they lied to us
 

P.S. Bush lied.

Re: Impeach the media --- they lied to us
 

Im pissed about it too. I hate faux, pmsnbc and cnn, even before this.

They are so concerned with their ratings er I mean the families that they parachute in there and interview these people who have a limited command of the english langauge with "how do you feel" etc.

There are much more important policy issues to discuss, but they spend segment after segment on this bs. Makes me sick.

Where is the humor ?
 

Are most of the loud Bush followers as lacking in humor as you? FYI, there is nothing funny about your post.

The two situations (i.e. Bush being a bungling moron and the misinformation about miners being alive) are not comparable -- in substance or scale.

It's one thing to get caught in the agony or the excitement of a developing story, such as the miners' tragedy, and report false news (let's call that a misdemeanor) and it's quite another thing to drag the whole United States to a murderous, counter-productive and expensive war on fabricated and false causes (I'd call that a crime).

...You gotta work on your sarcasm act.

Re: Where is the humor ?
 

You just don't get it!

By the logic standards in this forum --- The Media killed those 12 men!

They are murderers, they are liars.

Stop apologizing for them.

You joke, but it really is Bush's fault.

His Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety:

"David Lauriski, is a long-time coal industry executive and lobbyist. Shortly after taking office, Lauriski bragged to a group of coal industry executives that his regulatory agenda "is quite a bit shorter than some past agendas." Indeed, death warrants usually tend towards brevity. Part of Lauriski's abbreviated agenda is to reduce the number of times a mining company has to sample coal dust levels inside the tunnels, a move that is certain to increase incidence of black lung disease. And yes, Lauriski wants to get rid of the chest X-ray program that tests miners for black lung disease. Lauriski also wants to slash the number of mine inspectors by 25 percent."

Clearly, miners would be far safer if we just outlawed their jobs altogether.

Re: Impeach the media --- they lied to us
 

The Atlanta Journal Constitution's huge big font headline this morning was about all the survivors found alive.

I'm sure tomorrow they'll print a 2 sentence correction on page 8 of the home and garden section.

I love how if a politician or celebrity or athlete screws up they can rip them apart, but when they screw up it's all "oops"

The funniest thing is that in the article it STATES that the reports of survivors were not confirmed by either the mining company OR the govenor's office.

Well if it's unconfirmed why are you running the F'ing headline you idiots?

Journalism = dead

Some radio DJ's were ripping on the AJC this morning, they were calling up the newspaper and saying "My paper this morning is broken, can I swap it out for one filled with facts?" as if they were returning a toaster.

Re: Impeach the media --- they lied to us
 

This morning the Washington Post early edition headline was 12 WEST VIRGINIA MINERS FOUND ALIVE!

After the pull and reprint it was (wait let’s have a test!) was it:

A) EARLY REPORTS IN ERROR, ONLY 1 MINE SURVIVOR
B) MEDIA SCREWS UP – 11 MINERS DIE, FAMILIES ENRAGED
C) ABRAMOFF PLEADES GUILTY TO 3 COUNTS

If you guessed C; you win!

Someone get All Capone Jr. to kick all the media in the nuts!

Re: Impeach the media --- they lied to us
 

First of all, I had thoughts of a post like this myself today but you beat me to it. In a sarcastic sense which is what I am sure you intended it to be.

In all fairness, even though I hold alot of the media outlets with the same regard as used car salesmen, a lie is defined as a false statement "deliberately" presented as being true. I am strongly convinced that President Bush nor the media intended to deceive anyone.

But, I understand that there are some here on the extreme left that are convinced otherwise for a reason only God knows why.

The media's deep faith in the one and only Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ will guide them through these troubled times. The fact that the media are Reborn Christians will prove to be their guiding light through these dark days. The media stopped doing coke years ago.

Pure Comic Gold.

Re: Impeach the media --- they lied to us
 

Bs, huh?

Yep, God knows nobody cares about 12 redneck miners or their families. I think that was a red state, too. So they probably voted for Bush and therefore deserved to die a horrible death, didn't they?

I maintain my assertion that you are sick, but I doubt it was CNN that made you that way.

Re: Impeach the media --- they lied to us
 

Eliot,
You forgot to assert that the Constitution is a living document and is therefore meaningless.
