About 1000 ISIS fighters took over the small Anbar province town of Al Baghdadi last week. Al Baghdadi is only 5 miles (8 km) from the large Al Asad air force base, where 320 US Marines are advising Iraqi forces. Iraqis who resisted ISIS in the town were taken prisoner and subsequently paraded around in cages, with announcements that they were going to be burned alive. The BBC is now reporting that has happened. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-31502863 (A US State Dept. spokeswoman told Fox News that Washington is aware of the reports and is currently trying to verify them.)
While ISIS is doing these terrible things thousands of bombs have been dropped on them killing thousands. I wonder why the media doesn't show that? There must be bodies of the dead ISIS men somewhere that a battle took place. There are towns that ISIS once held that are now devoid of them so that the media can get pictures if they so wanted. This is why you never can trust the media, they only show you what they want you to see and never the whole picture of everything going on. This is to provoke you and I into hating ISIS more so that a war can be started that makes more money for the military and arms dealers.
Love needs to be proactive and make pacifist out of people. You cant fight for peace, but you can't give your shit up and be safe. There's a pacifist balance of divine intervention where good and evil is resolved and all things prevail.
So, your reasoning is that if the media showed more dead jihadis, the public would be more sympathetic to them, and not want to fight them?
I'd think that the reporting would be more balanced to show the thousands of dead terrorists which shows the war on them is damaging them more than innocent people. Unless of course there aren't that many dead terrorists lying all around after a million pounds of bombs have been dropped on them. Wouldn't it be interesting to see that the only things being destroyed are empty buildings and not thousands of terrorists.
Where in what you "quoted" was cosmictraveler "defending terrorists"?? From what I read, cosmictraveler has issues with the "Media".
If you start a war you should hardly be surprized when you get killed in it. Why is Cosmic so passionate about the media not showing as much that the poor terrorists are suffering as well? If you ask me a terrorist deserves to suffer... as opposed to innocent people. Maybe that's why the media chooses to show that innocent people suffer; because it is FAR worse than a filthy terrorist suffering.
How so? I've only asked to see DEAD TERRORISTS so how do you figure I'm somehow defending them, please elaborate.
I'm a little to old for that now and even if I went over the news company I would work for would only publish what they wanted to from me and not everything I sent back. You know as well as I the media is biased, corrupt, lies and is always exaggerating.
Hey, maybe there's no ISIS at all. It's just Jews in Hollywood making videos with special effects. How could you tell if photos of dead bodies are real?
I apologize if I misinterpreted. In this case, about what exactly are they exaggerating in your opiion?
In this case I'm trying to understand why the media always puts on what the terrorists are doing to people by murdering them but we don't ever see any DEAD TERRORISTS on the media it just is rather odd to me. You'd think that if the media was HONEST and TRUTHFUL they would show thousands of DEAD TERRORIST and not innocent people being murdered. It is like the media only wants people to see what the terrorist do to instigate and fan the flames of war. All the media shows is buildings being blown up and no DEAD TERRORISTS. Perhaps all that the allies are bombing are empty buildings since we never see any bodies even after the TERRORISTS LEAVE the town that was bombed.
Imagine that. And to think that a mere ten or fifteen years ago the media was so honest and reliable that people accusing it of fanning the flames of war were all but committing treason - according to "conservative" rhetoric at the time.
Where are thousands of DEAD TERRORISTS, I only see a few in those images and I've never seen scores of DEAD TERRORISTS on the TV networks but as you have provided only through the internet. So I do hope you understand my question better when I say I've seen little of DEAD TERRORISTS on the evening news channels.
I've answered that in post #14. If you don't understand what I posted let me know and I'll make it clearer.
