Perhaps you’ll back this statement with something other than your opinion.
No, I am arguing with you. You have attempted to discredit a war journalist with 15 years experience on the ground based on his being shouted down by a pack of undergraduates as he spoke on his area of expertise.
Yea, in the United States you don’t make a political speech at a commencement. He knew that, but decided to make one anyway. That means he is not an objective journalist but one with very strong political opinions. So strong that he would break a pretty strong social taboo in the United States. That is why he was booed off-stage.
Then don’t put words in my mouth, and then shoot them down. When you do that, you are simply arguing with yourself (and everyone knows it)
His area of expertise is politics or moral theology? He was talking about an unjust war. Not how to go about objectively covering a war as a journalist. When one calms down and objectively looks at the situation, you can tell he is an advocate, not a journalist.
You guys are enjoying this aren’t you?God BlessLisa4Catholics said::nope: :ehh:
Any reasonable person will tell you that objective journalism no longer exists (if it ever did). So your complaints of advocacy in this case ring holow. It’s that you don’t agree with what is being advocated by this particular journalist as he gave a speech, not in his journalistic writing, that your protests are founded. I haven’t heard any complaints from you about the Fox Propaganda Network, so your objectivity in this matter is also in question.
I am an eternal optimist.
This statement clearly betrays your bias.
It is clear to me from this comment that you dont’ live in the USA because the press is not covering up any atrocities by us, Britian, or the Isrealies.
This is clearly antisemitic. No one has supported anyone firing on a 10 year old girl. I am certain that this soldier will be punished and that is how it should be.
St. James said:
I admit, I am biased. I am biased towards one set of standards for all.
The establishment media isn’t handling that effectively enough in your opinion? If so, then you are free to help them.
Really? Then you should be able to point me to coverage from all the major US news agencies of the intentional killing of the 13-year old Eman al-Hams by the Israeli military. The BBC saw fit to tell the story. But I guess that’s because the BBC is anti-semitic.
Perhaps suppression is not the problem as much as credibility? Their exaggerated claims of the past in news stories, the hysterical Arab press, the gross misrepresentations from that bastion of visual imagery, Al Jazeera? A spokesperson like Bagdhad Bob?
When Israeli soldiers intentionally kill children people should be made aware of it, especially Americans. Americans need to be aware that their taxes are financing crimes of this nature.
This is an entirely baseless claim which reflects the dishonesty of it’s author. I have stated very clearly in many places that I advocate one set of standards for all.
