Iraq war debate falls off media’s radar.

Iraq war debate falls off media’s radar.
Major news outlets devoted just 1 percent of their coverage last week to the Iraq policy debate, according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism. “Those findings are indicative of a trend in recent weeks in which coverage of the political debate over the war has diminished substantially.”

Well the news concentrates on Paris Hilton now and not Iraq fiasco.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:28 pmGuess that means the situation is coolin’ off. Right guys?
June 26th, 2007 at 3:29 pmWell of course. Paris was getting out of jail. Now Paris is out of jail.
Is there anything else going on in this country that matters more?
More Americans continue to die. More Iraqis continue to die and become displaced.
And Paris – and bears – are more important; more relevant.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:29 pmCurses! Damn liberal media bias!!!!!
/sarc off
June 26th, 2007 at 3:30 pmCome now, Paris Hilton is far more interesting than reading about that teensy weensy ole war. Afterall, Paris has found Jesus behind bars. Praise!
June 26th, 2007 at 3:32 pmGiant. Rabid. Pandas.
It’s big, it’s dangerous, and it’s cuddly – it’s a shocking dichotomy that viewers will obsess over! Truth? lol wut?
IM N UR MEDIA
DAMGN UR BRAYN
June 26th, 2007 at 3:35 pmOf course Iraq fell off the news. They’re all doing 24-7 coverage of that skanky ho Paris Hilton.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:35 pmIt is because they are pusing the Think Progress/ Bush Amnesty bill.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:35 pmI may not know much about Iraq, but I know everything about Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears, and Lindsey Lohan
June 26th, 2007 at 3:37 pmFour words – Murdered Pregnant White Woman.
Why spend precious airtime actually reporting information when you can speculate wildly about local crime stories?
June 26th, 2007 at 3:38 pmOf course Iraq fell off the news. They’re all doing 24-7 coverage of that skanky ho Paris Hilton.
Comment by Tom3
June 26th, 2007 at 3:38 pmNow, Tom. Is that anyway to speak of the rehabilitated?
Man, don’t you just hate the way our news is filtered?
Americans = The stupidest people on the planet. On their way to being a 3rd world country. Thanks to idiot christians believing anything they are told.
Jesus is a f-cking scam folks, it’s been used for 1000’s of years to control you. Wake up..
Man = God = Man
June 26th, 2007 at 3:39 pmMy fellow activists drove from San Diego and demonstrated outside L.A. County Jail screaming Attica! Attica! Attica!
June 26th, 2007 at 3:40 pmYet another piece of evidence establishing the role of the sycophantic corporately-owned mainstream media. Any wonder why they’re quickly becoming totally irrelevant?
THE DEBATE from now until the election of 08 has been, is, and shall continue to be THE IRAQ WAR. A candidate’s viewpoint on the war will make or break their candidacy.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:41 pmWhy should the media devote more time to the debate when they already know what will happen. They don’t allow any exports who don’t have political motives on, they equate the truth and facts with heresay and pandering, they keep having people who are constantly wrong to predict policy outcomes without question, etc.
And since we all know the media isn’t going to start holding people accountable, fact checking, OR giving voice to truth and evidence even if it is politically one-sided, then there really is no point in doing the story.
So really this is moreso about quality than quantity if you ask me.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:41 pmThat’s because the U.S. is winning.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:42 pmI noticed they are not releasing the KIA reports daily now, just weekly or twice a week.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:45 pmAny portent in that?
#12 I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a scam however – something which has so handily kept people in line for all of these centures. How else could a ruling class do this with such absolution from above? How else can one justify judging others? How else could we engage in bigotry and separatism and claim that it’s somehow “the will of god”??
And without a construct of “heaven vs. hell”, then how could they possibly judge one another?? It makes for very convenient crowd control, doesn’t it?
And it certainly provides the vehicle for hatred of others, discrimination against others, and continuous judgment of others…
June 26th, 2007 at 3:45 pmAN ASSASSINATION IN IRAN: “The killing of a senior figure in Iran’s regime, the third in two months, is again downplayed by the country’s authorities.”
June 26th, 2007 at 3:46 pmI’m loving Christopher Hitchin’s new book “God Is Not Great”! It’s no wonder it’s topping the best seller lists. It traces religious fundamentalism and how it has been used as a weapon against anyone who doesn’t believe as you do, with great absolution from the supposed Almighty. Now what could be better than that?
And it clearly delineates that when one’s ego moves to sheer “ruse” of espousing that you are taking direction “from your father above”, that that individual has definitely crossed the line into pathological religion – aka using religion to condone one’s egomania.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:47 pm#2 Jesus is a f-cking scam folks, it’s been used for 1000’s of years to control you. Wake up..
Man = God = Man
Comment by Jesus is a Scam
Actually you’re wrong, ( “it’s been used for 1000’s of years to control you”). The years are wrong, but I won’t go there. You control yourself, you have free will. Choose right, choose wrong. Either way you’ll know it in your heart. But to blame your plight on others’ choices of religion? Sorry, you have destiny over yourself. Otherwise, call it quits.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:48 pmRosencrantz: That’s why most of us have deprogrammed our cable programming to eliminate the ridiculous whore-mongered media.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:48 pm“The Taliban has admitted defeat, in their own unique way. In recent media interviews, Taliban spokesmen announced a shift in emphasis to suicide bombings. The Taliban also admitted that the Americans had infiltrated their high command, which led to the death or capture of several senior Taliban officials, and the capture of many lower ranking ones as well. There have also been some prominent defections recently, which the Taliban spokesmen did not want to talk about.”
June 26th, 2007 at 3:49 pmThis coming Friday Michael Moore’s “SICKO” flick gets played nationwide, so Paris Hilton baloney cannot divert attention away from people being pissed off about rotten healthcare in the United States.

June 26th, 2007 at 3:51 pmHatred doesn’t need a vehicle. It just needs a feeling of inadequacy. Organized religion isn’t the conduit. Man is.
Frank, Frank, Frank…your ignorance is showing, dear.
Run along like a good little troll. You’re embarassing yourself.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:51 pmleftcoast: I see we can be at it again! It’s the debate to which all debates distill in the long run….ah, the concept of Divine Order versus Free Will. I’ve dabbled on both sides of this issue and, of course, these may be mutually exclusive concepts. If one believes in God and the Divine Order he’s arranged for us, then is it really “free will” at all? It can be said that our “supposed choice” in that “so-called free will” of ours is a preordained mindset created to appear as a choice when it’s essentially the choice of the Divine One. Beginning to get it…?? I can see that you’re ready to go one plane higher in your spiritual program but keep pulling yourself back down a rung when you get yourself caught up in your own confusion and contradictions.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:51 pmCHRISTOPHER HITCHENS on why it’s stupid to try to satisfy Angry Muslims: “Rage Boy keenly looks forward to anger, while we worriedly anticipate trouble, and fret about etiquette, and prepare the next retreat. If taken to its logical conclusion, this would mean living at the pleasure of Rage Boy, and that I am not prepared to do.”
June 26th, 2007 at 3:53 pmErratum: post #21) should refer to post # 12, not # 2.
I would never say anything un-patriotic or un-Xtian, because I know the truth of my beliefs.
YHVH/CHENEY ‘08!!!
June 26th, 2007 at 3:53 pmConversely, if we really do in fact have the ability to make a true choice which is somehow in conflict with God’s preordained plan for us, how do we ever know that it our own choice or part of God’s plan for us?? We don’t. So the perennial constant here is that it’s a debate which has no real answer. It’s the old chicken/egg ringaround. But it certainly is something to ponder and cogitate on. I’ve watched theologians debate this issue and find themselves each in a tied up little knot at the end of the debate….chasing their tail and coming up with no answer.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:54 pmI need to hear more about Hilton… screw the fact our country is going down the sewer.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:54 pm#30 that is pretty stupid.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:56 pmLefty: What I am attempting to say here is that you should be quite careful about throwing around the concept of “free will” because those who truly believe in God and God’s individual and Divine Plan for each of us fly in the face of free will. Or perhaps that “free will” which conceivably provides a vehicle of “choice” for each of us is programmed into God’s Divine Plan?? Somehow?? Or is it??
As for me, I’ve followed many religious programs over the years from Catholicism to Unitarianism and everything in between and am still at sea as to how I perceive God…..if, in fact, I perceive one at all.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:58 pm#32 Stupid because you fail to understand it? Or stupid because you can’t that pea brain of yours adequately around it?
June 26th, 2007 at 3:59 pmSince this has become and open thread I thought this news was interesting.
Michael Moore Demands Government Funded Cheeseburgers
“CHEESEBURGERS!!!”
Controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has found a new cause: Demanding the government pay for cheeseburgers. He argues that cheeseburgers are a right that no one should be denied access to. “CHEESEBURGERS!!!” he added, and then rifled through a dumpster behind a McDonald’s.
Moore plans on making a new film showing numerous horror stories from people denied access to cheeseburgers. He hopes the movie will move people to demand universal cheeseburger coverage from their government. “CHEESEBURGERS!!!” Moore stated while violently shaking a reporter.
Though filming hasn’t even begun, the new project has already garnered criticism. Conservative pundit and noted cheeseburger connoisseur Jonah Goldberg has attacked the idea of the government paying for cheeseburgers, saying, “There’s no such thing as a free cheeseburger. Universal cheeseburger coverage will require a huge increase in taxes. Also, with so many people demanding their ‘free’ cheeseburgers, the government will be forced to ration them and put people on cheeseburger waiting lists. Personally, I’d gladly pay for a cheeseburger today rather than wait for a free one on Tuesday.”
Moore’s supporters are claiming that the Bush Administration is trying to shut down this movie, pointing to an altercation Moore recently had with police. Yesterday, the police were called on Michael Moore after he ran up to a drive-thru window and shouted, “CHEESEBURGERS!!!” frightening the Taco Bell employees inside. Moore then violently tried to claw his way through the tiny window until officers shot him with an elephant tranquilizer gun. “CHEESE… burg… ers…,” was his reported final statement before collapsing to the ground and being dragged away by a backhoe.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:59 pmFrank:
Listening to Christopher Hitchens is akin to smacking yourself very, very hard with a ball peen hammer in a sensitive part of the body.
His credibility is ZERO – has this fool been right about ANYTHING in the last 6 years?
June 26th, 2007 at 4:00 pmFrank-enstein Troll is out of his cage again. Time to get Igor to put him in his place…ahahahaha! Eejit troll extraordinaire!
June 26th, 2007 at 4:00 pmStupid because it is amazingly wrong. Christianity is a subject moonbats should avoid at all costs. The other two are free market economics and national security.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:01 pmFrank J: the singular item open is your skull and all of your marbles have fallen out, dud!
June 26th, 2007 at 4:01 pmWhat war? Just give me a beer, will ya?
June 26th, 2007 at 4:01 pm#36 Another moonbat disagrees with you. He finds his new book great.

June 26th, 2007 at 4:03 pmHi Juan C! How’s it going today?
June 26th, 2007 at 4:03 pmIs there anything else going on in this country that matters more?
Can’t wait for more of those missing white women stories….
Who cares if we are losing our preamble to international corporate greed, 18,000 of the working class die an early death each because of no health care, that our middle class is shrinking as more and more live in poverty?
We always have the stories the media dishes out. Yeah!!!!!
Wake up folks before it is too late.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:04 pmJuan C: Move to the thread we regulars use because this troll is spewing his detritus and diahrrea all over the place. Splatters away!
June 26th, 2007 at 4:04 pmShould I explain to you why #30 is a load of moonbat crap?
June 26th, 2007 at 4:05 pm#27 God provides “opportunities”. We have the free choice to use that opportunity or not.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:05 pmwell i suppose it will take another 9/11 event to arouse the hysteria…..hmmmm as we fly over manhattan that cockpit door looks inviting
June 26th, 2007 at 4:05 pmFrank J just decides this is an open thread, I guess.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:06 pmThe moonbats flee like the Taliban in defeat..LOL
June 26th, 2007 at 4:06 pm#45 No one with a brain listens to the propaganda MSM any longer. They news is so belated and worthless that they’re quickly becoming totally irrelevant. Ditch television news. You’ll find out more about what’s really going on in this country via the foreign news networks.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:06 pmMichael Moore should just sit on Frank’s face and smother him > lol.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:07 pmSome would agree that God provides the “opportunities”; however, if his plan is Divine and preordained, then he already knows which choice we will ultimately make then??
June 26th, 2007 at 4:07 pm#38: I agree, Frank. You should stop immediately.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:07 pmHey Jay: That’s what’s already occurred to Frank Jerkoff.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:07 pm#51 – Don’t you mean like Republicans running from ethics investigations?

Tonight on Fartball.

June 26th, 2007 at 4:09 pmLet’s just freeze old Frankie, the J, out of our threads. At least he’s got an appropriate last initial : J, for jackoff.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:09 pm#33 veritas-I do not believe in Divine Order, but the will of man. I will always have choice. That’s the nature of man. Paul had difficulty with this in Romans. I just choose to work as hard as I can to do the best I can for those I can. There is no greater love except to sacrifice for the love of another. But because we love our life as it is we are willing to let others parish. And it happens everyday. Look to Sudan or pick a spot on the globe. We apparently love our lives greater than the lives others.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:11 pmThis is not an argument for my belief over yours, it is just my pain for those who hurt.
Blessings.

Great, buddy. I notice you were just told stupid by a troll who says the US is winning. Bashing these trolls is like fishing with dynamite.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:13 pmOh, I don’t know…laughing at the ignorance of the trolls is fun. If you ignore them they get more and more ridiculous. That’s kinda fun.
Boy, I can’t wait to watch Fluffball tonight so I can watch him get off on discussing the scents of the candidates and how you could land a 747 on their flat heads.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:13 pmPost 59 Chris > we already know the answer. Romney who wears that Mormon undergarment has the worst fart problems. That is why he slobbers the cologne on bigtime to hide it.

June 26th, 2007 at 4:15 pmOne more time. PLEASE stop calling Iraq a war. Calling Iraq a war gives it an aura of legitimacy. It gives it the taint of glory. It enables righties to connect it to the GWOT. Iraq is an occupation. Occupation is a nasty word, but if we all start calling it that, which is what it is, we can turn public sentiment against it. That is, unless you really want it to conitnue.

Any portent in that?
Comment by RUCerious
Also, have you noticed that the enemy we kill is now always labeled Al-Quaida? No loner is it insurgents of others like it used to be.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:21 pmThe neocon media is truly in lock step with the Republican party.
To spell Al-Quaida correctly, I had to look it up on google…. is the SS going to be in my home snooping now?
Ever wonder how BushCo gets the MSM to not focus on Iraq? They always find another issue, whether it is stem cell, or gay marriage or flag burning or now immigration.
A great Rove-developed tool, called bait and switch or hide the weinie.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:21 pmThe reason Iraq’s not in the news is because no one cares!
June 26th, 2007 at 4:21 pmGo out to bars and around, no one talks about it anymore!
It doesn’t effect most people’s lives so no one cares!
Get out of the Internet.
It’s a big world out there!
That’s because the U.S. is winning.
Comment by Frank J — June 26, 2007 @ 3:42 pm

Comment by Proud American Liberal
Could not agree more. The rest of the world calls it: A US led invasion. Righties call it war for propaganda purposes.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:33 pmMy opinion is it is an illegal invasion/massacre on an innocent third world country – half of which were under the age of 16 years of age.
The facts should never be distorted and blame should always be put on the guilty.
You are all a bunch of losers.

Thanks leftcoast, I’m just riding Jay’s coattails. I do have an issue with YOU though.
“Frank J- you couldn’t put together a coherent sentence after so much Jack Daniels”
Frank J isn’t drinking Jack Daniels on his troll salary. He’s probably drinking some panther piss cheap bourban made for a speed rail with warm malt liquor for a wash. That’s why he’s so incoherent.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:44 pmThe world is not morally blank, just in need of honesty, kindness, and the sweat of our brows.
Oh, but it is morally blank. You’re just choosing to write “honesty, kindness and the sweat of our brows on it”. Some people, like Saddam or Cheney, are going to write something else and there’s no-way to say that former is any better than the latter.

Everyday complaining about things that they can’t do nothing about.
Think about yourself and you’ll see how much happier in life you’ll be!

June 26th, 2007 at 4:45 pmRove must have studied Houdini.
Houdini knew that ‘magic’ requires a diversion to work.
Rove uses a diversion every time something significant emerges with the Rightards.
Is Cheney the diversion this week? Think about it. MSM isn’t covering Iraq, eh?
While MSM was crowing about the exit polls in ‘00 & ‘04, no one was covering all the Rightard ‘Election Monitors’, keying in software on machines, posting illicit lists of non-eligible voters based on return addresses, etc.
Don’t ever underestimate Turdblossom. If we ever had a Houdinin in politics, it’s Uncle KKKArl.

Cheer up, Life is great enjoy it. It only happens once!
Tyson > 2 hot women? So are you a swinger? Most of us on here are doing fine, so we are not losers or miserable souls either.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:49 pmJay,
June 26th, 2007 at 4:50 pmSo what are you cpomplaining about with your sky is falling chicken little attitude.
Enjoy life man.
If events don’t effect you, who cares!
Make Money that’s the Key to life man!
“Come now, Paris Hilton is far more interesting than reading about that teensy weensy ole war. Afterall, Paris has found Jesus behind bars. Praise!”
I once found Jesus behind bars. He had a shiv and was zonked out on paint thinner.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:54 pmOh, young Zooey. Always so judgmental… nah. I don’t think I’ll want to play even that angle today.
Oh well. TP won’t get any trouble from me today. Maybe I’ll log off forever.
I’m quite sick of this situation with Cheney going nuts and my daily codeine is making me drowsy. Furthermore, my yesterday’s encounter with ace and the rest of the 9/11 conspiracy fools left me depressed and these gutter trolls like Jake, VV, Frank J and PIP are just tiring. No flair, no style, no ability to get any character development done. Screw you, you goddamn GOP-wanna-be losers.
June 26th, 2007 at 4:55 pmLMFAO!
Pot, meet kettle.
Kettle – pot.
Enjoy.
June 26th, 2007 at 5:14 pmAt least there’s a few places such as TP where some real news is being reported. The main stream media is part of a vast right-wing conspiracy, and it should be of no surprise that they feed us Paris Hilton stories instead of ones that matter.
Thanks TP!
June 26th, 2007 at 5:25 pmReal news? Uh… ok.
And what’s wrong with Paris Hilton stories? Pretty pictures of a hot heiress. You’ve got to be gay or a woman not to like that.

I like hot just as much as the next hot blooded man does, but first off, she ain’t hot – you’d have to be a republican lesbian to think that.
Secondly, the main stream media ‘reports’ on Paris Hilton and other sensational things to the exclusion of real news such as how attacking Iran would be WAY more disastrous than our feeble nation building in Iraq.
On the day that TP reported the deletion of possibly millions of emails and accounts used by White House officials on RNC servers, a quick look at Fox, MSNBC, the Washington Post, and CNN – there was nothing.
One need to look no further than your comments to see how effective the MSM is in brainwashing weaker minds like yours.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:14 pm#12 I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a scam however – something which has so handily kept people in line for all of these centures.

You’re preaching to the choir. ;)

Then stop distorting the facts and put the blame on Sadaam and the U.N. where it belongs. ;)

Yeah, saw this last week. We talked about it. This is the new WH strategy. There is an oxymoron.

June 26th, 2007 at 6:18 pmTHE DEBATE from now until the election of 08 has been, is, and shall continue to be THE IRAQ WAR. A candidate’s viewpoint on the war will make or break their candidacy.

yes. those who do not support our troops and their mission will lose.

Comment by Usa Freedom Forever — June 26, 2007 @ 6:26 pm
Define ’support’. Could also please tell us, because I sure don’t know, what IS ‘the mission’?
Maybe if I knew how to support this mission, I’d be able to, but since there is no mission, my support would be to bring them home, saving lives.
June 26th, 2007 at 6:28 pmI call what’s happening in Iraq a military adventure.
Put ‘Bush Regime’s ill-considered’ in front of it and I think that says it.
June 26th, 2007 at 9:07 pmOh well. TP won’t get any trouble from me today. Maybe I’ll log off forever.
