Typical media (non) coverage

Out of curiosity, I went to all the major news websites to see what kind of coverage they had about the finding of WMD in Iraq. I found nothing. Only Fox News carried a headline about the WMD find, let alone any mention at all. CNN, ABC News, CBS News, MSNBC, and USA Today had absolutely no mention of the WMD on their homepages when I checked them all just after 10pm tonight.

CNN's top headline said Marines file murder charges; this is regarding the 7 Marines and one sailor arrested for allegedly murdering an Iraqi. ABC News had a top story about al-Zawahiri (an al-Qaeda terrorist) releasing a new video, and of course, the Marines being charged with murder. CBS News carried a headline that read Is Insurgency thriving since Zarqawi? MSNBC's headline was about how cities are losing their middle class neighborhoods. USA Today had a headline about a delayed space shuttle mission. Again, with the exception of Fox News, not only did none of the other major media websites carry a headline about this WMD find, they did not even mention it all on their homepages.

Liberal bias in the mainstream media? Nah, it's just an urban myth.

Good Day to You, Sir

Explain to me how Senator Santorum can be the "gayest, most opportunistic fruit bat..." is he has made comments in the past that offend homosexuals and lesbians. Are you saying that anyone with anti-gay views is automatically gay? You make no sense.

In fact, you are so off the wall and out of control in your writing. Maybe next time you want to explain an error made by another you should take the time to think about what you are going to say. Maybe even read it over once finished venting???

Also, where did you find this info that the "press conference" was a sham? That kind of info would be helpful in putting you point across. Without facts or backup, you just seem a little wacko.

More than "a little" wacko. More than "a little" sicko, too.

Well, thank you salmonella5000 for visiting my blog, but I have to say, I think you are a little koo-koo.

I believe the broken record b.s. that your side has been repeating was, "no WMD in Iraq, no WMD in Iraq."

Now you come along and change your argument. Now the "old, useless pre-Gulf War WMD" isn't good enough. First it was no WMD, now you have upgraded the requirement to be NEW WMD. Face it, nothing will ever be good enough for you to justify the U.S. being in Iraq, no matter how justified it may be.

You are also a very disturbed person judging by your latent homophobia which you have projected onto others. It's people like you that I fear ever getting into power, because judging by your anger in your comment, you would send me to the death camps in an Auschwitz minute.
