The news is supposed to portray what's happening in our world but it's failing to do so recently. I see more of what's happening because I have a lot of news sources (including Al Jazeera, BBC, CBC and a couple of rogue websites that take sources from all over). Why is nobody getting pissed off at the news. I'm pissed off at the news. Hundreds of civilians are being shot needlessly over there. Where's the coverage on that? You don't see it. Instead you see the footage of the soldiers giving food packages to Iraqis that plays all day long.
There's something wrong when a news station is biased. Then you really aren't getting the truth. Maybe you guys should care about that instead of some fat guy who has an opinion about something.

Exactly what American news organizations are you watching? I never see positive news about the war, even on FoxNews which is basically a Bush pulpit. All I ever see is arguments about whether or not the war is right and then body counts of American soldiers and Iraqi resistance (which aren't even Iraqi for the most part, but foreign insurgents).
Also, you are making claims that hundreds of innocent Iraqi's are being shot over in Iraq. Please provide a source for that information so that we can make a decision for ourselves on the credibility of that statement. And please leave Al Jazeera out of it, as even mentioning them as a "news" source when it comes to this conflict is out and out laughable since they openly supported a genocidal maniac during the military conflict. BBC and CBC are perfectly acceptable souces, though.
Who knows, you might actually change my mind if I can see it for myself, much like you changed my mind about Halliburton.
As for Michael Moore, I still don't see how anyone can respect a man or take a man seriously whose life is based on deception and manipulation. The name of his production company is, or was when he made Canadian Bacon, PROPOGANDA FILMS for crimenies sake!
You agree with what he is saying, but much of what he is a saying is based on lies, so how can you trust anything he says? He portrays himself as a documentarian, but whenever his "facts" are challenged he claims to be a comedian and is therefore not responsible for the massive innaccuracies in his work (see the Lou Dobbs of CNN interview from the Wallstreet Journal article) Once the pandora's box is opened, you can't close it. Once you are proven to be a liar and a SEVERE capitalist in socialist clothing and its exposed that you are a hypocrit in every facet of your life, how can you expect to ever be taken seriously again?
Evidently Michael Moore has figured out how and is making himself disgustingly rich in the process. You are being worked and manipulated by him. He is a fraud and a leech and is preying on liberal sympathies to make himself into what he claims to hate about America. Michael Moore doesn't hate America, he loves America because its Americans who fall for his absolute bull**** and shell out millions to see his like minded, back patting rubbish.
He is a con-artist... and you are the mark.
Ok, now The Strangler really has left the building... unless Dyflon posts some evidence for the Iraqi's being murdered by US soldiers which I really want to see (and no, I'm not being a smartass, I really would like to see it
)
