freeandfun1 said:you still don't make sense. if showing those videos would hurt them financially, why don't the videos of dead Iraqis? Again, your argument holds no water as far as I am concerned. The government doesn't show the videos as that is not their job. If the government were to show them, even I would scream foul as it would be a blatant act of propaganda as far as I am concerned. You are hiding under the umbrella of capitalism in saying that the showing of the videos would hurt the NEWS broadcasters financially. Anyway, I thought CNN cared about showing the truth and not just money. What happened to your favorite liberal news network?
It is a blatant example of MEDIA censorship.
you confuse me with one of the 'anybody but bush' liberals.
The videos of the dead iraqis, while they do raise the ire of a select few, would never raise the furor from the average american public like the pearl or berg beheadings would. You are trying to apply a logical basis to two events, while basically the same, are not envisioned that way by the least logical audience....that of the american public. I'm explaining basic human culture and thought processes of middle america, If that doesn't hold water for you, thats not my issue. You can either trust my word on that or be wrong about it. Its not a negative reflection on you, it just shows that you're applying the wrong argument to the wrong audience.
