Conflicting Stories

 

1. Um, you don’t think CNN is developing a pro-pirate media bias do you? It does rather look like they are filtering the news to make this a low-impact story.

   Now, what would ever give you that idea?

2. I don’t care if the story gets reported well, or even at all, as long as the pirates get dead in record numbers.  If that means a virtual media blackout to get that done, then break out the jumbo black markers and get to obscurifying. 
   My point is this: liberal whining about human rights is a major obstacle to getting the job done and media attention seems to be directly proportional to the amount of whining produced. And vice versa. I think the naval forces sent to the Gulf of Aden know what needs to be done.  If we just let them do it, this mess can be cleaned up in a few months to a year.

3. CNN is probably keeping it low key for fear of being accused of racism. After all, isn’t saying ANYTHING critical of a non-white person counted as racism these days, *by the standards of CNN*? Isn’t that what this last presidential campaign taught us?
