[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] JK: [i]Stop with the "liberal media!" paranoia bullshit.[/i] Liberal media? Who said "liberal"? It's well documented that the media often does not give the full story, for the express purpose of getting better ratings. Adam Clymer (NY Times, IIRC) wrote a story last year about how allegations of Bush's supposed drug use refused to die, citing a press conference where an unnamed reporter had asked about it. What he didn't tell you was that HE, Clymer, was the reporter. No one else had asked for quite some time. The Rodney King riots were precipitated by an irresponsible media only giving one side of the story, not showing the multiple times that King had attacked the police officers, and the high-speed chase that ensued. During the Elian Gonzales kidnapping, a reporter STARTED a riot by throwing rocks, and then proceeded to report on it as if it had spontaneously occured. Fleeing could be in reference to the state in which he was found when he proceeded to attack the officers. For example, I could be attempting to avoid capture, and thus be fleeing, and yet when confronted, attack my persuers. I could then be said to have been shot while fleeing in quite an appropriate manner. Yet further, CNN isn't known to be the most reliable news source in existance, nor is the Associated Press. How many times on election night did the media jump the gun on the Florida call? Show me the video tape. THEN you'll have a case. Examine all possibilities, Jeff. Admitting that you know nothing is the first step towards wisdom. [/QB][/QUOTE]
