So whats new in afghanistan? Thats not as news worthy as Iraq and its daily

[9-12'er]

happenings were? Wheres the liberal outrage?

What gets shown on the news is what people watch. If the ratings and focus groups show that people are no longer interested in certain things they switch to something that will keep viewers watching.

There is no news organization on cable that isn't there to make a profit. It really has nothing to do with liberal or conservative it is about what gets viewers like you to watch so that the people that advertise on the networks will pay for airtime.

So you see, it is now and always has been about what makes money.

Hmmm, I wonder. Maybe it's because our soldiers are not allowed to fire without specific instructions and prisoners get Mirandized? Afghanistan, the kinder, gentler war.

[Rich]

Shh, quiet, you not suppose to ask now that Bush is gone. ABC will come looking for you.

 

[Big Bear]

Obama has not told them to be upset yet.

I haven't heard anything out of Iraq in awhile only afghanistan.

 

[Marque and Reprisal]

Their candidate advocated escalating the war in Afghanistan so I suppose they are on board with that one.
