Why is it OK to show bodies and people dying in NOLA, but not our soldiers
caskets returning home? Or pictures of dead soldiers?

I think we need to see it all.

1. Excellent Point!
When I started to read your post, I was expecting you to say another point.

Why is it OK to show bodies and people dying in NOLA, but not help them?

2. I think we need to see it all too. Very little pictures of bodies
so far, that I've seen in NOLA. Of course, I'm watching very very little tv, but I am seeing most of the posted wire photos....:shrug:

Event he MSNBC/NBC reporter who had the segment on the convention center that had captured dead babies and elderly was highly edited, apparently. We should be seeing all of this. This is what our government's inability to plan and respond has cost us, after all.

3. Because the Conservatives lost control of the situation. If they
had kept control, no bodies would be reported or shown. Look for the media to stop reporting the deaths and ratchet up the Conservative Racist talking point that "these people" are not victims.

4. Also, aren't soldiers supposed to be defending our country?
New Orleans is in our country. How many lives are being lost because no one is defending them?

5. Because we don't want to "dehumanize" our soldiers....
But somehow, for people in New Orleans....that's ok.

It's really sick and twisted!

6. It's NOT okay to show the bodies.
The media crackdown has already begun. Now that FEMA decided to be Rambo, I'll be surprised if we see any more corpse photos.

7. "cause for a while
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 03:58 AM by delen
the MSM beat the WH censors to punch. They might have done it on (9/11 to a degree, remember a hour or so after the first plane CNN was announcing it wasn't Saddam.

8. Cause a flood is an act o gawd, evil nature is the killer, supports bible
and the twisted idea that Man has the right to act like god, and decide who lives and who dies. Wait until enough people understand that B*SHLER is the reason these deaths are happening.

If they show enough dead bodies, people will go into revolt... just a quess, as you know B*shler's Ma doesn't want to "worry her pretty head about such things,"
and B*shler doesn't believe there are any dead people as a result of his FLIPPING INSANE and MURDEROUS ACTIONS AND POLICIES.

We need to to see photos of the WAR CRIMINALS GETTING LOCKED UP FOR LIFE< FOR KILLING SOOOOOOO MANNNNNY INNOCENT PEOPLE.
