Quick musing: I’m wandering around the hotel here in Atlanta, on a 15 minute break in between sessions, and I catch a quick segment on CNN, where they are discussing Iraq. Now, I couldn’t hear anything, but I did catch what CNN calls the Iraqi operations: The War For Iraq. Not the War In Iraq, Operation Iraqi Freedom, but War For Iraq.
Now, perhaps I am being a little to sensitive, but, we know the Progressive (read communist) leanings of CNN, and how they feel that they are a "world news service," not an American news service, it just makes me wonder what CNN is trying to say. Now, remember, this is the network of Jordan Eason, who said that the US military was targeting journalists for death, and did not blow the whistle on the attrocities of Saddam so that CNN could have access. It just seems to me that CNN is saying "hey! We are fighting to take over Iraq and steal their oil." War FOR Iraq. In order to take it over.
You cannot tell me that they are calling it the War For Iraq for no reason. The media is all about how things are put, whether it be pictures, spoken words, or written words. That is what they learn to do. And CNN has been at the forefront of anti-Americanism.
The biggest contrast I see all the time is the repeated insistance by CNN that they are “suicide” bombers, while Fox News nearly always calls them “homicide” bombers.
I’m waiting for the real news network that starts calling them what they are: a-holes with a bomb.
