A little bit of ranting never hurt nobody!

 
ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT

So...let's check today's headlines...

...so Peter Arnett got canned by NBC AND National Geographic for doing an interview on Iraqi TV, stating that the U.S. had failed because they had misjudged the Iraqi's forces. Of course, he had also reported at his previous job in 1998 that American forces had uesd sarin gas on a Laotian village to kill U.S. defectors. I think I also heard that he once reported on National Geographic that he had credible sources telling him to report the earth is actually flat! So much for unbiased journalism! Thanks, but I'll stick with Peter Jennings, who just smirks through his entire report and looks like he's going to throw up every time he says the words "President Bush." Yeah...give me THAT kind of unbiased coverage! Sad to say, but anymore I can get better coverage of current events on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" than I can on the big three networks (of course I'm kidding beacuse Jon Stewart is one of the BIGGEST anti-Bush people on television...well...ok...maybe Martin Sheen is a bit more...but he doesn't count because he's an idiot). So he get's fired, right? And then what does he do...GOES TO WORK FOR A BRITISH ANTI-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER!!! Now....let's see the contrasts in quotes.

First, here's a quote from his official statement...

"I want to apologize to NBC, MSNBC, National Geographic EXPLORER and the American people for clearly making a misjudgment by giving the interview to Iraqi Television. Clearly by giving that interview I created a firestorm in the United States, and for that I'm truly sorry."

Thanks, Mr. Arnett. Now, let's see what you said in your first column for Britain's Daily Mirror:

(Under a banner headline that reads "This War Is NOT Working")
"I report the truth of what is happening in Baghdad and will not apologize for it."

Um...Peter...uhhh....what did you do in the previous quote?!?

On a lighter note...

Check out this article about yet another American Idol contestant in trouble with the law. MAybe they should start calling it American Felon! Of course, if you look at popular music in the past few years, these new batch of no-names would fit right in. Maybe they could bring back the world of true gangsta rap, when all the people doing music were former felons. Heck, 50 Cent, the new rapper from the Eminem/Dr.Dre camp who has had the #1 CD in the country 2 weeks running, is a former drug dealer. I say, let them sing their heart out and work for a truly illegal operation...a record company!
