The Media Are the Enemy

[EveningStar]

New York Times photographer Joao Silva was right there in the room as a member of Muqtada al-Sadr’s “Mahdi Army” tried to kill American troops

and then the media wonders why people say they are biased

[Faithful_Servant]

There is no doubt that the media is the greatest tool of our enemies, but to say that they are the enemy isn't correct. What sucks is that eventually someone will figure out that the terrorists and the media have an almost symbiotic relationship and the result will be a curtailment of our free press. It's what happens when you abuse your rights and fail to act responsibly. The pic in the OP is a classic example. This ******* should have been lying there in a pool of his own blood and shattered camera parts, instead, he gets a nice publicity shot. Eventually, pics like this will result in trials for aiding and abetting the enemy and then we can kiss freedom of the press good-bye. You can bet your last dollar that liberals will blame conservatives for this when it happens, but when you abuse your rights, you lose your rights.

Anyone remember this photo?

The photojournalist who took it was awarded a Nobel I believe. He later committed suicide.

But what I always thought when I looked at this photo was 'why didn't the damn asshole with the camera get Hodgy a fukin Happy Meal?' Or at least throw a dirt clod at the vulture.

But no. He wanted 'the photo' that would gain him admiration among his flashbulb peers, you know, the one that would hightlight the most heart-wrenching emotion. And so, he laid back, probably attatched a piece of meat to a fishline and lured the bird closer to the boy. Then, when the boy was just about to die, he clicked his photo.

This is probably also why the Nobel winner blew his head off a few years later when he came to finally discover what a grade A asshole he was.

BTW, this isn't cant. It is real.

That bullet very well could be killing a US soldier or a small child.

It is the same for rape. What would the cameraman have done if a fat Achmed was holding down a small child while unzipping his pants and was about to plow into the kid's private area with his instrument of allah? More pictures? Probably with multiple angles no doubt.

The media doesn't use the 'T' word remember. And since no one is a 'terrorist' you see, you must not make judments. Only 'tell the story'. Or, as the Catholic Church likes to say become one with evil in the sin of ommission.

A little something else about this photo.

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/pictures/200607015NYTFallujah.jpg

As you'll notice, this photo didn't just happen. It was planned. An unsuspecting cameraman didn't just wander up into a belltower unannoucned and happen upon Hodgey here.

No.

The cameraman probably ate dinner with him first, you know, to get to know him sort of like an icebreaker. The conversation went something like this, 'So, you think I can... um...sort of like...you know...snap a few pictures of you at work?'

Because if THAT didn't happen, then it went down like this(which really is no better)...

Cameraman walks into belltower or third story of this shithouse and, at first, the jihadist is surprised. He aims his gun at the cameraman, 'Are you INFEEDEL?'

The cameraman takes a dump in his BVDs, swallows hard, and then says 'No, no, no! I am allah's servant, my master. I am MEDIA. See?' He holds up his camera, 'No gun.'

'Ah, this is gwood.' says the jihadist.

Then the camerman has to kind of do charades acting out what he wants the jihadist to do as he 'catches him in the action', where to stand, what window gives the best lighting in order to catch the full glimpse of this fabulous docudrama, even the maniacal grimace. 'Look real pissed!' The cameraman says.

'Howiz theese?' asks the jihadist.

'That is very good my friend. Now just ... stay right there while I get take off my lens cap, hold it, hold it, stay still... steady... *snap* GREAT! Thanks a lot Hodgey!'

'No problem media, and may allah be with you.'

(there is a grain of truth in that btw... these things don't just 'happen')

Looks like this raghead had many a happy meal.

Hopefully, Isreal will give him an onion that he will never forget. Dead Arabs do not breed.
