I don't think they have to be too worried about it being downloaded off the internet.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 22, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) I told he'd win it in the 11th. A leadoff triple is a game winning hit for sure. May not have been if Spivey didn't screw up.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) That article incited a bunch of people to riot so your attempt at sarcasm falls flat. If that led to the killings of 17 people, well imagine if it were proved true and an entire article was wrote about it. I've heard of irresponsible acts by media but this one doesn't exactly smack me in the face. It's important to note thought that the periscope section of their mag doesn't get enough editorial review and from now on I bet they'll make sure it does. Oh and it's a myth that the newsweek article started this riot

Just watched The Hunting of the President. This movie would embarass anyone who says that people who don't believe there is a liberal media bias are stupid or ignorant. The film focuses on the so-called Independent Commission and the media's obsession with their case. quicktime trailer http://www.thehuntingofthepresident.com/qu...me300Kpage.html Great trailer by the way, how exciting!

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 21, 2005 -> 06:43 PM) Yes, I remember. It was an unnamed source, who said that he had heard that this investigation was going to happen. So the source was reporting the information third hand already. Should have been checked out better. Meh, reporters now are just copying the Whitewater reporting idea that one or no sources are needed.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ May 20, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) You are not mistaken at all. Like you, I do support the reporting of torture by our military. Torture should not be a viable interrogation technique. Back in the days when our media wasn't so blatantly partisan and actually gave a damn about the welfare of our troops, stuff like this happened all of the time. Do you not think that our military did similar things in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam? Hell, it was even worse back then: Where was the NY Times when Roosevelt unlawfully sent Japanese Americans to detention camps? And FDR is widely-regarded as one of our nation's greatest presidents. The bottom line is that ANY military is going mistreat at least a few prisoners in a time of war. I'm not trying to excuse or justify it, but it happens. And I'l bet that our military is much more humane than, say, China's or Russia's. The American public holds our military to incredibly high (and some might argue unreasonably high) standards of conduct in times of war. And I believe that our media outlets have the right to report blatant human rights abuses. But the partisan bias of today's media goes far beyond that. Does the (alleged) flushing of pages of the Koran down a toilet qualify as a human rights abuse? Did the NY Times need to run 53 (!) front-page articles on Abu Ghraib? These aren't cases of fair and biased journalism... they're cases of blatant political mud-slinging that undermine our military's efforts and put our troops in even further danger. Just as our troops should be held accountable for their actions, so should our media. Stop worrying, other than the Times no one is reporting this. -

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 20, 2005 -> 08:42 AM) The media seems to have no problem minding its business when it comes to showing the good our solidiers are doing in Iraq, Afganistan, and around the world in general. All of our boys and our country is being painted as blood thirsty savages. This is bigger than one parties political agenda, or at least it should be. When was the last time you saw a picture of American's building new roads in Iraq? Or a little girl going to school for the first time in Afganistan? But I'll bet you have seen a picture of Lyndie England in the last month. Yes the media has a role in opening up scandals, as they are the final check and balance of government. But their agenda needs to be bigger than taking down a President. They are daily putting our lives in danger, not just our soldiers. If their were images of Americans saving lives around the world, that might go towards actually showing that the vast majority of American's want the world to be a better place. Instead the media only concentrates on the worst of the worst. Feeling the hate we do from the rest of the world, makes me want to close up shop and say screw the rest of the world. Pull out all of our companies, resources, food, aid companies etc, and let them see how they get along without the great satan. They all hate us, but where is the first place they turn to when they need help? Who is in there saving the lives of Iranians after their huge earthquake? It wasn't the Russians who are selling them the bomb making equiptment they hope to someday use against us I will tell you that much. It is us. The citizens of this country give self-lessly to the rest of the world, more than the rest of the world gives combined, yet we are the evil ones. What does the Muslim world provide for our poor and starving people? Did they offer to send rescue crews and relief aid after all of the hurricanes hit Florida? Nope. I am sick of it. I am sick of being protraying as treating the rest of the world as a doormatt by our own citizens, and having my life put in danger because of it. All because they want to sell a few more newspapers. Hell the reporting of the abuse of American;s, our families mind you, doesn't even get reported as much as the abuse of other people? This same kind of stuff happens in our own prision systems everyday, but are there reports about that? Nope. I am f***ing sick of it all. I wouldn't worry so much, cbsnews.com foxnews.com and cnn.com aren't saying anything about this. Yet... Frickin Liberal Media -
QUOTE(qwerty @ May 20, 2005 -> 01:31 AM) Link works for me. Anyway you could just use this link then click ''apparently not''. This is what it has to say. http://www.egotastic.com/entertainment/mov...ttorrent-000201 There's a bunch of them now. Pretty sure some of them are real. I have no idea of the quality and I don't really care because I'm definitely going to go see it in theatres soon.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 19, 2005 -> 11:43 PM) Tarantino wants to get into television more. Wants to direct a show of his own. Don't really know how well that would pan out. Only if it's on HBO please Quentin.
