here is an article about the internet censorship of aljaz, unknownnews.net & yellowtimes.org

faux is slamming peter arnett from ngeo who was interviewed on iraqiTV. if he is being interviewed there, despite the fact that CNN and Faux have been kicked outta baghdad, then he must be an evil anti-american, and PA 'appears' to suggest that he is responsible for the iraqi resistance, and therefore, also for the dead coals...(shows edited clip) 'he appears to be appling for a job with the iraqi's', 'he is one of the few english-speaking journos still allowed in iraq... he didnt say anything about the bombs that killed iraqi civilians that *may* have been caused by iraqi missiles... he says he is being treated courteously! he certainly sounds like a saddam spokesperson... maybe he has a gun to his head, and he doesnt wanna be incarcerated like the newsweek journos (pause) *may* have been...
(sneers) 'if he is so so close to the iraqi's, then maybe we can ask him whether saddam is alive...'
(for the record, fisk says he has no problem broadcasting freely from baghdad, and also finds everything courteous)

btw - i hate the faux interstitials of course... i also hate the snide comments as they throw from one presenter to another 'well, that does raise some interesting questions...', or the squawkingheads commenting 'we love seeing more of that' or whatever at the end of a segment... 'interviewers' also continually, awkwardly, interrupt their agreeable guests - even with 'u-huh' and 'mmm'. the most popular news network in the US. and the audacity of 'fair news, balanced news, now!' and 'we report, yuo decide.' str8faced!

'underhanded terrorist tactics', 'homicide bombers'

i think tommy franks just said 'the amazing thing about this terrorist activity, is that it seems to go all the way to the top of the regime' what the fukk does that mean?

the faux ticker just mentioned the awol dolfins

faux: 'the iraqi ambassador is living it up in new york, while millions of his people starve at home - he was recently seen stuffing his face in a ny restaurant'
