Sites Holmquist trys, and often fails, to go no more than a couple of days without visiting (some of which Holmquist regularly swipes links from without attribution)
That, however, is nothing compared to the CBS News report I saw last night on the UncleSam'storturescandal (the word "scandal" hardly seems grave enough) that ended with the reporter saying, "it may be the image of the U.S. soldier that is suffering the most."
Some professional complainers will no doubt find something to complain about in this title, but a look through the last 10 years of CBS' reports will turn up as examples that show there is nothing out of the ordinary about this comment. Some examples:
-"The real victim of the terrorist attacks that killed thousands of Americans last week may be the image of alQaeda." (September 19, 2001)
The moral of this search is that CBS News can always be trusted to not in any way put forward the message that the lives of non-Americans are worth less than those of Americans.
I love how this is so often said to be "alleged" abuse. The news media would of course do the same thing if the images were of Iraqis abusing U.S. soldiers. "Well it looks bad but the Iraqis might have had a good reason for doing what they did." posted by micah holmquist at 5/03/2004 11:33:00 AM
