They kept reporting on the Pope's past and saying he was too conervative for catholics but in reality the Pope was winning big time in apporval poles from catholics.

So then you'd rather have the media broadcasting on live tv things like troop locations, secret plans, all that jazz?
I mean, heck, next time they mount a SECRET rescue mission to SECRETLY rescue a kidnapee, why not broadcast it on CNN the day before!
And honestly, my statement about the theory (which actually has pretty wide-spread acceptance).... if that's true, can you tell me he should have been honest?
You mean like the great clip that woman beater posted? Yeah, jumping on the "liberal media" sure doesn't sound like a popular band wagon. I'm not basing my theories on liberal media or any media, i'm basing it on my OWN THOUGHTS!!! Wow, what a concept, thinking for yourself....holy crap! how do I do that you ask? I read all the articles, books, watch all channels news reports, and then make up my own mined based on what I believe about what I've read and heard and seen. Try it some time.
I cannot blame Bush for the WMD, everybody and their mother was telling him they were there. I would have done the same thing. Heck even if their weren't WMD, I would have done the same thing. Saddamn was uncooperative, and we know how good Appeasment worked with Hitler
hmm........seriously you were being mean first, so no need for acting this way. Chill out. Tell me, please, why you are against bush? Just so I can get an understanding on where YOU stand.
That's fine, if he'd even said "i'm not sure, but hey, they also rape and oppress women and have public execution, so while we're putting and end to that, we're gonna dig around for some weapons JUST IN CASE" and I'd be fine. I don't want them handing out troop locations or talking about specific missions, stop repeating everything FOX news tells you without thinking. DUH that's a stupid thing to do, and putting soldiers lives at risk isn't right. But I just want some honesty about WHY we're attacking someone. But if he'd said that, people wouldn't think it was "tough" enough and would call him a wuss, instead of an intelligent human being who thinks before he acts, and is honest about why he does what he does. That I respect.

Surf on over to www.debka.com. It is an Israeli (independant) news site that has informants just about everywhere. I am not exageratting when I say that if Osama bin Laden eats a hot dog, they know about it. They have reported on SO many things 100% accurately days or weeks before we see it on CNN, Fox, CBS, etc.
They reported a few weeks before the invasion of Iraq that Saddam was moving all the WMDs to a desert in Syria. They had a map up for the longest time pointing out the weapon's exact location.
And in response to the inevitable question of why Bush hasn't gone after the weapons if that's true, they have also reported several times that Bush and high ranking US officials have been advised to do so but are worried because they already went into one country and didn't find what the intelligence said, so they are warry to go into another country and find faulty intelligence again. (The irony is that according to the Syrian desert report the intelligence was not faulty in the first place!)
Didn't he actually in many speeches mention how one of the main causes was the oppression of the Iraq people. There you go again, ANOTHER conspiracy theory that he lied, in reality many people believed Iraq had WMD including the CIA, and the British intelligence. I guess the Pres isn't supposed to listen to his intelligence corps? I mean after all that's just wrong to go to war because you believe they have WMD when they shouldn't. Man what an idiot that President Bush Was! Trying to protect America. To me, Liberals are dreamers. They want it all to be peaceful and okay, without realizing that war is gritty. Its tough. That in the long run its the right thing to do.
Thanks for jumping to conclusions about someone you don't know. And yeah, you're response doesn't sound like pre programmed government propoganda, you, like Lazer, are illustrating my point SO WELL.
But to indulge your stereotypes:
Channels: NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, BBC America, an arabic station I get with subtitles, FOX, FOX news, and yes, i've probably seen something on CBS. i do channel surf on occasion.
and as far as Fahrenheit goes, I knew all that stuff BEFORE I saw it, all that info was available to the public BEFORE he put it into a movie, you just have to look past (excuse MY stereotype of YOU) FOX news who only SUPPORTS Bush. THE ENTIRE MEDIA IS BIASED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. Its all put out by HUMANS, not robots. Some is too left, some is too right, thats why you have to try to distill what they're really saying, look past the spin, and then develop your own opinion. And just so you know, I don't consider my self part of ANY political party, I consider myself part of the Alan party (that's my name by the way), I think about what I hear, analyze what they're really saying, and then make up my own mind. On some things I'm liberal, on some things I'm conservative. Nobody should be all one or all the other unless you're just a really one dimesional person...

In fact (and you may have missed it because most news sources buried it on the back page or at the tail end of the telecast) but it was reported a few months ago that RUSSIAN intelligence (Russia, as you know, being a relatively strong ally of Iraq and thus lending credence to it's accuracy) actually reported that not only did Iraq posses WMDs, but planned on USING THEM AGAINST MAINLAND US within a certain time frame (I think it was that summer or something like that).
How can one ignore that? As the President, if someone comes with evidence of 50% certainty that says the US is in danger, he HAS to act. Anything less would honestly be treason or something along those lines.
And like I said, if he'd said, we THINK they have them but we haven't actually seen them, but we'd rather be sure one way or the other, I wouldn't have a problem. I don't see how wanting the respect of honesty from a leader to be a conspiracy theory.
