CENTCOM Roundup

Because the mainstream media is invested in propagating only bad news from the War on Terror, here's the CENTCOM roundup of stories the mainstream media refuses to run. FOUR TERRORISTS KILLED, SIX SUSPECTS DETAINED

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed four terrorists and detained six suspected terrorists during a mission to disrupt an al-Qaida vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cell in Tarmiyah Friday.

As ground forces made their way toward the targeted building, they received enemy fire from the vicinity of a mosque. Coalition Forces returned fire, killing four terrorists, and continued toward the targeted building.

At the targeted building, the ground forces detained two suspected terrorists. After they left the building, they returned to the vicinity of the mosque and six individuals, including two wounded men, exited the building.

Four suspected terrorists were detained and the two wounded men were treated by ground forces on scene. They were then medically evacuated to a nearby military medical center.

1 Yeah Bluto why isn't the MSM reporting on all of the GOOD things happening in Iraq and all of the troops that are NOT being killed?

2 Because that wouldn't be to Democrats political advantage, JR. You're not stupid enough to dispute these press releases are you? Hmm, maybe you are...

3 Is it truly the MSM's job to run anyone's happy talk, including CENTCOM's?

CENTCOM is a government source, edited and approved with military and government oversight. The job of the press in a democracy is to question government as part of their reporting; to put it more succinctly, to assume government with massive resources at its disposal is spinning unless proven otherwise.

Why, then, would they quote sources assumed to be spinning--unless of course they followed up and THEN reported a story of their own?

I went ahead and read several of the releases. Some present mildy interesting stories, features that talk about re-building fire stations, and schools, and  servicemen receiving awards for merit and the like. But these don't fit the definition of news; they are much like typical corporate press releases, wrtten to put client subject matter in the best possible light. I've read thousands in my lifetime and assign most to be ignored entirely.

News is what is uncovered, not what is provided, at least to my way of thinking. The CENTCOM releases are OK stuff to read, and maybe should be given a little more airplay. But news? Nope.

Yeah....not like the CNN worthy terrorist press releases of snipers.

5 Greg, you incredible imbecile. All of the events posted here are "news" by any definition, just as the casualty reports that the MSM DOES take from CENTCOM are news. The MSM have deliberately suppressed these stories to further their political agenda - successfully, for now. Pull your head out of your ass for once in your useless life.

6 I went and talked to some active people who were ack from Iraq. They are suppossed to be non-political (I forget what part of the code) antway, they said the mainstream media was treating them unfairly,an ddid not reflect the reality they had experienced themselves.

MSM = More Sneaky Misinformation

USA all the way!

Casualty reports listing American dead ARE news in America, you myopic twit; a press release about American soldiers  helping school children install new basketball hoops in their school is NOT ... it's human interest fluff. Where the hell did YOU get your J training?

8 Gleep: kindly cut and paste from my post the part about basketball hoops, you disloyal, retarded dwarf. Where did you learn to read?

Posted by: The Dread Pundit Bluto at November 24, 2006 06:28 PM (vBK4C)

9 Good Lord it was hyperbole to illustrate a point Bluto ... you've used this debate strategy and defended its use by others many a time.

There's a huge difference between hyperbole and simply lying. Try again.

The fact is, you didn't bother to read the post before commenting, did you? What a moron.

11 CENTCOM will become an Establishment Media standard if a Democrat is elected President in 2008.


It's funny how the government only lies to the people when republicans are in the White House. Thank God the so called MsM is here to tell us what to think and how to feel.

Come now Gleepo. What about CNN running the sniper vid from the terrorist?

Posted by: Randman at November 25, 2006 01:19 AM (Sal3J)

13 News is what is manufactured, not what transpires.

Ask any first year journalism student. Better yet, take a look at any establishment media story. They're all works of fiction, to some extent.

The Gleeps and Creeps are only too happy to see fabricated news stories, so long as they continue to espouse the left's Marxist, P.C. dogma.

No wonder newspapers are dying out and Fox News, moderate blogs and conservative talk radio kick ass. The tolerant majority is sick of the MsM indoctrination apparatus.

Cry me a river, Gleep.
