The Administration through unrelenting rhetoric has a large fraction of the public believing Iraq is linked to 9/11. Fine, politicians are doing what they do best…obfuscate for personal gains.
CNN and MSNBC have their cutesy titles “Showdown with Saddam/Iraq/Blix/Mike Tyson/Micheal Jackson”. Fine, trying to make Life a video game. Infotaintment. Money.
But, Fox News covers Iraq under the tantalizing red-and-blue graphic which reads “War on Terror”. Ah, now I understand what’s going on. Patriotism. Subliminamislsm. Obfuscation. What are they really after?
'tis my first pit thread dammit
Seriously, slipping Iraq under the banner “War on Terror” usually following reports on OBL seemed a bit subliminal to me, given the attention quotient of most TV viewers. Throw in the red-blue colours too.
FOX != anything to be taken seriously. Utter crap. Don’t waste your time talking about them even.
Hey, maybe they’re like the monsters under the bed - ignore them and they’ll go away? hopeful…
Not really subliminal, I guess. Here’s a link to Fox News. Look at the reports under “War on Terror”. It’s all Iraq! This is patently dishonest journalism.
I also remember when the same channel was reporting news on the French position on war under the banner “Chirac Charade” or something more demeaning.
I don’t even remember that. Cognitive dissonance is a wonderful thing. Now I’ll never be able to see her without imagining Deadly Doug’s face groaning with sweaty pleasure. Ugh.
There’s nothing subliminal about it. More clear than that and they would be slapping people on the face. BTW, did CNN merge with E! Entertainement Television?
