Associated Press now making snuff films for the Taliban

 

1. THEY ARE TERRORISTS, actively working for the other side. The enemy side. This is not objective journalism. At All. Hunt them down, and kill them.

   Perfect call Drew.

2. Agree 100% with you Drew - when my son was in Iraq (2003) the AP ‘journalist’ received a ‘tip’ that there would be an attack/bomb at the airport. Instead of contacting the US forces about a threat against their servicemembers - the intrepid ‘journalist’ filmed the whole thing. It is a good thing that the terrorists with the RPGs were lousy shots and did not do more serious damage (also they shot as it was still in the taxi on the runway rather than waiting until airborne)…

   And if that wasn’t enough - in Mosul, another AP ‘journalist’ thought it a better scoop to film the removal of the bodies of two dead soldiers and the aftermath (looting the Humvee) rather than alerting the Army that two soldiers were under attack.

   Take a look at your local paper - most of the ‘headlines’ are AP origin. . .Which leads me to my final story from that period. The reporter in the Iraq calls on his cell phone back to his office - We’re under attack, the mortars and bullets are flying - his superior back there says - Can’t be, there is nothing on the wire and hangs up on him. Five minutes later the AP sends a story over the wires - Area X under attack, mortars landing. The superior calls his guy back and says - tell me the story again, it’s news. . .

   What a crock.

   It is disgusting - but I hear nothing being said about it. So much for human rights, women’s rights, common decency, justice and simple humanity.

3. When do we...never mind. I can’t be saying things like I’d really want to in a public forum. I have to let this stuff boil in my belly until IT starts. Then I can let it out. And believe me, it’s gonna be messy.

4. That would be Peter Arnett, Peiper. Supposedly now working for the Daily Mirror after his many ‘journalistic’ (un)biased decisions, concerning the Gulf War (both).

5. Objective journalism… integrity… just reporting the news.....

   I wonder if Lord Haw-Haw and Tokyo Rose made the same claims?
