Yeah, heaven forbid a media outlet doesn't just vomit back the Bush party line that things are going swimmingly in Iraq and that the Bush Administration is a model of honesty and competence. How dare the media? Why can't we be like countries that don't tolerate dissent? You know, like Iran.

seems tho that many vomit one party line or the other--hard to find the real news, not the 'news'..

What about if this were American Sailors from our Navy? Holy Schnikies...

That's a very funny tagline. Believe it or not, I once hit a 200yd sand wedge. Unfortunately, I was playing a blast shot out of a greenside bunker when I hit it.

I cannot imagine if they were U.S naval members, there would be b-52's circling with warheads of mass destruction. I understand its a power play for Iran, but i cannot believe that the british government is going to let iran dictate terms. I very seldom advocate violence as a solution to anything, but its time for the Brits to say, " Give our naval members back today, or we will be there tommorrow to take them by force"

it is infuriating to me that iran has done something illegal, and then has the colossal nads to try to dictate terms!!! they want britain to admit fault?! FOR WHAT?! the only one who has done anything in the wrong is iran. what nerve...

Dissent is for opinion pieces. It is not a part of reporting the news.

Yeah, but there seem to be many who object to any news being reported that reflects badly on the current administration. You know, news from the "reality-based community" as one of his own people derisively called it. From Wikipedia:

<<The source of the term is a quotation in an October 17, 2004, New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush:

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." >>

How dare anyone report on "reality" and make the actors look bad!

Poor conservative blogger John Cole has been reduced to thanking God for Chuck Schumer. And he means it sincerely! Link below:
