These are mostly ordinary people like them and like us who just want to work, take care of their families and have as free a life as possible. Killing them wontonly is so horrible and inhumane but the media is so full of political agendas, they don't have time to help fight terrorism by informing in detail and criticism about the real problems. I get sick to death of hearing their social and political agenda in almost everything they broadcast and produce. They often appear like battleaxes so ready to attack with their crisp and harsh commentary and questions.

I hope your patrons check out Vatican Radio. They have done extensive coverage on their daily 10 minute news program. Here is the link for english - USA. http://www.oecumene.radiovaticana.org/en1/on_demand2_ing.asp Also I was surprised our own Sen. Joe Biden from Delaware has sponsored legislation for financial assistance for the victims in Sudan. This reminds me of the inspirational leadership we used to have during the Camelot days of JFK.

My comment concerns the same reality that everyone seems to claim the news stations don't really care for (which I adamantly agree with). If in this reality news stations will not air an ad that criticizes their integrity, how can we as people who care get coverage of a story to that effect. What can we do to break the media-imposed silence regarding the genocide in the Sudan? This is not a retorical question and it is certainly not intended to discourage. If anyone has a valid suggestion please let me know. I’m sorry about my unorginal name but that’s irrelevant.

Honestly, he is not that smart. Bush does not own an empire, and he is not in control of the media. Look at the coverage of Hurricane Katrina (not very pro-Bush, now is it?). Now I am wondering why no one has answered my comments; everyone's so busy spewing criticism on Bush that we've lost sight of the real problem. Of course the media didn't air the ad, are you people really that ignorant? Why would anyone air an ad that attacks them? So, why haven't we sent another creative? One that does not attack the media? I agree with Melissa on Post #93. We need to focus on the problem and stop socializing by finding unity in whining. There still is hope. There are other news stations out there and radio shows. Melissa, I am curious to know what your program is; I am working on a contest-style poker tournament fundraiser at Mira Costa High School, and need more support. Please, anyone contact me if you want to talk ideas for changing what already has happened. "Some people see what is and ask why, I see what could be and ask why not?" colinholtzinger@hotmail.com.

Take a good look at what the media in America and elsewhere do. They do not promote George Bush, they are vehemently anti-Bush. That, and the failure to take issue with Darfur, not to mention other problems in various parts of the world are for the benefit of the United Nations as an organization. Think about that for just a minute, and many things shall come to you as a revelation. Sorry about the bibical sounding pronouncement, but that best describes the way it is.

Darfur is poor and doesn't impact our capital markets and our people have little interest in Africa. However, this business argument in no way defeats the human rights imperitive to stop genocide.

That's the high pitched wail you hear when a microphone is amplified via a speaker system. Unless you lower the volume, it will never go away. How does the sacrifice of more souls justify the sacrifices of the past? It's as if we are a Stone Age society.
