NBC or America's Al Jazeera?

I hope you are sitting down for this. According to Reuters (as reported on MSNBC),


"WASHINGTON - NBC News Monday branded the Iraq conflict a civil war -- a decision that put it at odds with the White House and that analysts said would increase public disillusionment with the U.S. troop presence there,"

What courage! What journalistic integrity! In the face of severe "tsking" from a Whitehouse used to getting its way with the media, NBC resorted to a dictionary. "NBC said the Iraqi government's inability to stop spiraling violence between rival factions fit its definition of civil war."


The Whitehouse was quick to bring out the big guns on this. "National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said while the situation on the ground is serious, neither President Bush nor Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki believe it is a civil war." I'm sure Bush made the case that, as the Sunnis and Shiites both live in the middle of the country, it can't be a civil war. Everybody knows a civil war is North against South.


OK, excitement's over. Everybody back to C-Span

points for about 2.5 minutes, (150 seconds)

then chucks in maybe about 15 seconds of maybe something maybe hard hitting from the other side.

They should pay 300 million people for every second they steal for the white house,

then they'd knock the bullshit off.

maybe the law outta be that for any issue covered by the news, you gotta get the perspectives of 4 people who completely hate each other?

it wouldn't be nicey nicey pretty pretty, BUT

with a 9 trillion dollar economy,

a 2 trillion dollar federal budget

who gets what ain't determined by nicey nicey pretty pretty.
