The sad part is that CBS will likely look at Newsweek in envy when the wrist slaps they suffered aren't even handed out.

Yes. At least The New York Times got rid of Jayson Blair back in the day when the frauds became too obvious. But I guess since people's attention span is so short, we get the media we deserve in some twisted way. -

If you really think that the effects of the story was so bad, why are you then trying so hard to change the subject from the false story to something about torture ?
I can't help it if you can't read. Torture is directly related to the topic at hand, because of past incidents. Other people seemed to have voluntarily joined in to the discussion, by the way. If you can't grasp the interrelationship of it and how it complements the subject, that's your own fault. The silly Framing game is getting played out though.
Reverse projection. Nice tactic. Sorry, doesn't work though.Oh, very nice of you to tell me that I'm not allowed to have an opinion different than yours and that you are representative for all others.
Another bad framing attempt.If you want to discuss torture, fine with me, but that isn't the topic of this thread.

Yes, what are the impacts, a bunch of people died, why were they so angry.
And why Newsweek should be brought up on charges for doing the equivalent of screaming fire in a crowded theatre.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment

WTF!
Newsweek is totally plagiarizing me, and mine WAS FICTION. a) i want to get paid now. b) I'm angry.In da butt.

More like:
1) Go to Kansas, arrest a bunch of innocent people, without charging them, hold them for 3 years
2) Go to Nebraska, imprison a bunch of people, torture them and then distribute photos of it

You don't have to go through step 1 and 2 to get the reaction - it's religion and thereby defies any kind of logic or prehistory.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

DUH
A friend of mine was doing a movie shoot in India and had to be escorted out of the country by Indian military because there was a riot because some idiot started a rumor that they were ripping out pages of the Koran.
HOWEVER, the reaction is INTENSIFIED because of those things that had already happened. People are way less willing to cut you slack if you have a history of doing stupid things. That's all about credibility, which we are finding less and less of these days.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment
