News media will NOT show the dead
On the Bernie Ward show, Kim Mckalister(sic), in the KGO news room that it was the policy of the networks, NOT to show the bodies

This is what they have done in Iraq, and they are doing the same thing here. They do NOT want the public to know how bad it is

1. CNN was showing two dead bodies outside of the conference center
One body was wrapped up in a white sheet or something, the other one was in a wheelchair with a blanket over her.

17. this is what I heard on the Bernie Ward show
the description you just made was pretty sanitized. What they were saying was a lot of bodies were floating in the water

4. They already did.
MSNBC ran the footage from inside the convention center. People dragging corpses covered in sheets, and a man in a wheelchair who died clutching a note to his family.

:cry:

5. That is not it
They don't want familys to find out that way.

They showed bodys. They showed the lady at the convention center who was in a wheel chair. She was covered by a blanket.

15. listen. I understand that part. I'm saying....the images have been
too clean. too precise. I saw horrible photos of dead in Tsunami and in violence in other countries. THis clean cut corporate media is controlled by a need to sedate the masses. They don't want to show the truth. THus journalism loses it's strength to shine light on truth.
