And what was shocking was so many people in South Carolina seemed to be simply unaware that children were being hurt in Iraq. And that’s, of course, a pretty profound criticism of the mainstream media.http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/19/144201

How naive do you have to be not to understand Children are being wounded & killed in Iraq? Do you think Iraqis don't have children?

How many people responded the the CNN story about Yousiff a little boy who was torched by Iraqi gunmen?

'Collateral damage' is a euphemism for innocent people dying & being maimed/wounded.

Is this willful ignorance? When you only watch infotainment about Britney Spears when there is alternative real, adult news you are negligent. But if the American media spin machine hasn't even given you ready access to real, hard hitting, adult information then the responsibility lies there as well.
FCC rules state that the use of the public airwaves REQUIRE that stations make sure they operate in the public interest. That must require that they have real, substantive news.

My God if getting the story on Iraq, the biggest political issue of our time doesn't even warrant regular consistent news coverage what does?

Endless Hours & Hours spent on Lacey Peterson, Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, Bradjolena, & Paris Hilton?

If you aren't even patriot enough to do some adult monitoring of what your government is up to YOU will pay the price & lose what is left of your democratic republic.

How much of this is complicity, willingness, neglect of/by the American public, & how much is really the calculated manipulation by PR agencies scripting what we [DON'T] see on TV?

I am just ashamed of America.
After WMDs, Iraq-911 connection BS do you not realize you have to go beyond standard corporate media to get to the real truth?
ever heard fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me?
Do you just not have intellects?
Have you read no history?
Do you not bother to get anything beyond government propaganda from corporate media.
Do you not understand what war really is?

Where are the responsible adults? The silent [non-existent?] portion of the USA?

Please take 30 minutes a week on the internet & get some real news & monitor what you can of what your government is up to.

The US government didn't pay the price on 911, You the people DID.
You don't want more 911s? Then keep very close eye on what trouble your own government is stirring up.

You are your best protection.
If YOU don't do it, it doesn't get done. PERIOD.
