good and bad don't enter into it. i'm sick and fucking tired of moral manipulation.
journalism is supposed to be objective: if it happened, report it. if you got a picture, show it. tell the story, tell the truth, but don't tell me what's right and what's wrong. if anybody needs to be sent down to guantanamo, it is all the asshat pundits that cover up the facts with endless bullshit so they can fill airtime around the commercials because gathering news and reporting it from the field is more expensive than showing four fuckwads sit in a studio and tell you what to think because you can't get the original information.
bodies come home in boxes, if you don't want to see them, don't look. but don't pretend that reality doesn't exist.
my question is, why do people say it is uncool for a site to show the flag-draped coffins, but the same people say it is cool for W. to use a video clip of a flag-draped stretcher being carried out of the WTC wreckage in his campaign ads?
my hypocracy meter just pegged again, i have to go vomit.
