Skewed coverage
If the Fort Dix military reservation had been attacked by jihadists, would it have made the front page of the Rocky Mountain News? Why, then, was the foiled plot to do so relegated to Page 34? Doesn’t a terrorist plan to kill as many American soldiers as possible deserve the front page?

It's the news media - if it doesn't blow up, crash, get shot, or shoot it's not worth printing.
My experiances with them in Iraq(twice) has done nothing but re-enforce this belief.
Posted by brian on May 19, 2007 07:05 AMAre you kidding me?? The liberal newspapers in this state only put diversion news on the front page. Don't you see? ANYTHING that does not enhance their liberal views get's relegated to tiny little back page items,or not at all!
SSSSH!!! Don't want to upset the left wing liberals with talk of terrorists that want to harm us.They can't handle the truth and there will be a run on Prozac and sand to stick their heads deeper in.
Oh don't forget we are the terrorists and the government was behind the plot to kill soldiers at Fort Dix.
We can't upset the left wing because the get mad and shout us down with their conspiracy theories.
There are just not enough tin hats and coat hangers to cover them all.
Warning! These comments were said in jest before morning coffee!
According to the liberal media outlets all over this country the "I hate America crowd" Rosie, dispicable and uninformed, O'Donnell, Jihad Jane Fonda and a whole basket full of looney entertainers blame America. Remember WE are the BAD guy's not the beloved Jihadists!!
Isn't that right Denver Post and RMN??

Posted by Sharon B. on May 19, 2007 09:49 AMAh, the comments of A and T remind me of the racist remarks that the Kl Klux Klan used to give back in the day when the "threat" was the black man. These poor, pathetic, fearful people are so scared they're reduced to whining about the location of a newspaper story. Get a backbone, will ya.
Posted by Todd on May 19, 2007 01:04 PMWe are not fighting "terrorists", we are fighting Islamofacists that use terrorist tactics as their primary tool.
Todd,
Get your head out of your fog.
Fighting islamofacists, eh? That explains all the hate speech posted here about American hating liberals.
That fog has a fruity fragrance, don't you think?
Check out the article on the Newsom/Christian murders.

"Islamofascism is nothing but an empty propaganda term. And wartime propaganda is usually, if not always, crafted to produce hysteria, the destruction of any sense of proportion. Such words, undefined and unmeasured, are used by people more interested in making us lose our heads than in keeping their own." —Joseph Sobran, syndicated columnist. http://www.sobran.com/columns/2004/041111.shtml

You think the Rocky is liberal?
I would hate to see what you think is right of center then.
Posted by Bango Skank on May 21, 2007 10:52 AMHas anybody ever wondered if Rosio-donnell is saying what she is, specifically to discredit anyone who asks questions about official 911 story? If a person was to be marginalized by the powers that be, what better way than to be lumped in with Rosie O'Donnell.
Posted by Jay on May 23, 2007 09:02 AMHey QBT, that is sick. Thanks for sharing. I wish the media would tell us the truth, not lie, or lie by ommision as they so frequently do.
Posted by Jay on May 23, 2007 09:12 AMThe so-called liberal media, along with virtually all of Congress (both the House & the Senate) knuckled under to the Bush administration's lies about Iraq and allowed us to get involved in the worst quagmire since Vietnam (believe me, if you know anything about Middle East history, this makes Vietnam look winnable). Daddy Bush knew that getting rid of Hussein, despite Hussein being a horrible, awful, despot would lead to the mess we are stuck in now - but W 'knew better'. Now Al Qaeda uses Iraq as a recruiting tool - and site (which it never was before - or are you naive enough to believe that any despot would share power with another madman?) - while Osama bin Laden (you do remember him - the self-confessed architect of 9/11 & other terrorist attacks) orchestrates more attacks, while laughing at the US! Interestingly enough, until the unprovoked attack on Iraq, not only did Bush have liberal support for the war on terror, he had the world's support. Now, 4 years & 3 months after the invasion of Iraq - and 4 years and 1 month after "Mission Accomplished" we are stuck even deeper in Iraq with no end in sight (Gen. Petraeus has said we could be there AT LEAST 10 years) - while bin Laden laughs at us. Do you feel safer now?
