Corporate media are aiding abetting a crime in progress: The Terry Jones Hate Cult Spectacle

[Swamp Rat]

(caveat emptor: I am not a legal scholar, and this is just my opinion)

Corporate media are aiding and abetting a crime in progress by constructing the theatre in which Terry Jones will shout "fire", thus causing harm to many beyond the silver screen.

More than just 'being in the presence' of the perpetrator, corporate media has been and will be amplifying this harm exponentially, and the first to experience this harm will be American troops.

Both Terry Jones and corporate media will abuse the 1st Amendment to do this.

[spanone]

1. they could end it in a heartbeat. stop it. it's not worthy of the coverage.

[Swamp Rat]

3. Yes, it is that simple: it is not 'news', and therefore not worth coverage

It is a clear cut example of corporate media abuse of the 1st Amendment.

[Kweli4Real]

21. The Media is Hoping ... Praying ...

that someone will show up and shoot that "preacher." That, or a bunch of Muslims will show up and all hell breaks loose.

Then, they can get all aghast that "a simple, but possibly misguided, protest was met with violence."

[Swamp Rat]

23. Rupert Murdoch is praying to Satan right now for extreme violence and death to occur.

Rupert Murdoch is every bit as evil as Joseph Goebbels.

[NYC_SKP]

2. Yep. And repeat offenders.

Habitual criminals.

5. Non-stop, daily offenses by the Neo-Fourth Estate

Until corporate media are truly brought under control, we will not be able to trust any news, election results, etc.

[monmouth]

4. I heard Rev. Jesse Jackson say earlier that the media is exacerbating

this situation and making him a media star. (I'm paraphrasing)and that this pastor is just trying to get attention...

[Swamp Rat]

6. Then he and I agree

Except for The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and occasionally watching the evening MSNBC line up, Animal Planet and Turner Classics, I do not watch the TV.

I only watch TV because I receive basic cable for free on someone else's TV (I do not own a TV nor do I plan to buy one in the foreseeable future).

7. Pretty Shiny Hate Thing

Ladies and Gentleman, your corporate media!

[spanone]

8. they are reporting it on the local news with jones speaking and showing his church

along with hillary clinton commenting on it....they've spent 5 minutes on it....they gave Obama's speech today about 5 seconds

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. you have enough edification and education with your degrees to access

the general processes developing the powers of reasoning and judgment on what is intellectually and logically a sound argument in either a criminal or civil letigation

I really think the Justice system in the US
was lost after Katrina..... sure some cops at the bridge have benn prosecuted after so many years but justice in the states is now, no longer blind and no longer sees the naked and blind truth.

Nevermind, Bush and Cheney for a second.
I think Katrina told the real story of what was 'happening'.

Anyway, here in Denmark they played this story on the news and said ............. It will kill westerners period.

[Swamp Rat]

12. The response to Katrina was more than just an experiment.

It set precedent for future actions. As I said back in 2005, the rest of America will understand some day, what we learned in New Orleans.

:hi:

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. BTW.... the ones I work with said

They don't know why, a NUT Preacher with a gun on his desk..... that's how they showed him. gets so much
attention in the USA?

Now,he has a following of maybe 100 people?
And now he deserves National and International attention?

Think about that...... He's international now on the news.

[Subdivisions]

10. One of ours boys' head will be severed very publicly if this happens. n/t

[Swamp Rat]

14. I certainly hope not, but if it does, I'll hold Terry Jones and his cult personally responsible. n/t

[Radical Activist]

11. True.

They share blame in the wave of anti-Muslim crimes after their sensationalist coverage of the ground zero mosque.

[Octafish]

13. You hit on something most profound, Swamp Rat.

Corporate McPravda WANT to aid and abet the crazy nutjob in order to fan the flames of hatred. In doing so, America's corporate press have exposed themselves for what they are. America's "news media" are simply the rent boys and girls for those who gain profit and power from war.

PS: Hey, Mr. and Mrs. America! You won't easily find this truth on the tee vee. You need to tune in to DU.

PPS: Thank you for putting into words and pictures, Super Swamp Rat.

[Swamp Rat]

16. It's quite simple, really

For spectacle and thus profits, the corporate media are going to cause the deaths of American soldiers because of this.

I'm expect a lot of DUers are thinking the same thing.

PS. Thank YOU amigo Octafish!

PSS. FUCK YOU: ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN and Especially FUX Noise, and all your so-called journalists!

27. We thought we'd moved beyond this! It's like the RW GROWS....while

many of the rest of the CHANGE...whither...on the vine...after all that work ...we have no nutrients to support our further growth...while the malevolent WEEDS seem to find all the fertile soil/nutrients THEY NEED..to PROSPER AND GROW THE POISONIST FRUIT..they BEAR...like PALEN and the "BONER/TAN MAN" and the rest of the IDIOTS THEY PRODUCE...who are the total ANTIPATHY to the MORAL VALUES THEY ESPOUSE AND HOODWINK THE VOTERS IN TO BELIEVING IN... THEIR MYTH! It's ANTI-TAX! PRO GUN! ANTI GAY! and ANTI TAX! (i.e. Public Education, Basic Access to Health Care, Garbage Collection, Passable Roads (not paying tolls) and Getting rid of Entitlements (Social Security, Medicaid, Family Relief, Charity, Food Supplements, School Lunch Programs (for the "one meal a day kids") Head Start, any kind of program that helps the poor amongst us survive and maybe get ahead in some way?

[Rex]

30. I like that example - RWingers are like weeds!

They grow and grow, because their nutrients are hate fear and anger. They would kill off all us and then start to work on each other!

[spanone]

17. nbc nightly news just led with the story. i imagine the other networks did too.

[Swamp Rat]

18. Res ipsa loquitur

Again, I am no legal scholar.

[spanone]

20. you can bet that when and if the burning occurs, they will show it worldwide

in slow motion

ad nauseum

over & over & over & over ....

19. Obama's first step after the "Financial Meltdown" should have been to Revamp the FCC!

Instead, I can barely turn on my TV...and I thought it was horrible under Bush...but, it's gotten worse.

Either he was hoodwinked about the Media...Never watched it so didn't know what was going on...Didn't care because he was to busy running for Senate and President ....or he was clueless...or he Didn't have a problem with MSM because he watches the Golf Channel and ESPN...and thinks the rest is "too silly to bother with."

I don't know why he doesn't seem to understand what happened to EVERY DEM PRESIDENT WE'VE HAD...either Killed, Driven out of Office with One Term, or Impeached in Second Term or like "Al Gore and Florida Election Fraud" was NEVER ALLOWED TO BE PRESIDENT!

I sometimes think that Obama is an Innocent...but we Democrats were told: "I WILL WORK FOR YOU! ...I WILL GIVE YOU CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!"....And his OP'S call us names...saying we are "Fucking Retards" and his Press Secretary says we are the "Professional Left and need to be Drug Tested."

No wonder Democrats are in Distress and Disarray! We didn't think we voted for a "Cover Up" of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld CRIMES!" We didn't think we were voting for someone who wouldn't go after Wall Street CRIMINALITY...We didn't think that ALL THE CRIMES AGAINST AMERICAN PEOPLE AND PEOPLE OF THE WORLD would NEVER BE INVESTIGATED by OBAMA'S DOJ!

WE thought we were electing someone who KNEW WHAT DEMS HAD BEEN THROUGH...THE SUFFERING in NEW ORLEANS going back to that STOLEN ELECTION! WE THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY....

WE ARE ANGRY...WE HAVE BEEN TRASHED FOR OUR EFFORTS AND ACTIVISM TO SUPPORT OUR DEMOCRATS...but they Kill us with a THOUSAND CUTS...and THROW US UNDER THE BIG BUS.

We WAIT AND WAIT for OBAMA TO SPEAK OUT...and WE HAVE TO HOPE TONIGHT IS A START.

[Swamp Rat]

22. RE: Al Gore - "NEVER ALLOWED TO BE PRESIDENT!".... Yes, indeed!!!

:hi:

[KoKo]

28. Thans Swampy.... i never forgot...but it seems memories are so short these days.

I wonder if it isn't he HiDef TV with those "Bigger than Life" visuals and personalities. We all feel dwarfed. I have my old "basic Tv's" in my house...with minimum cable...but we visited relatives over the Summer and they have this GINORMOUS TV (HI DEF) THING in their HOUSE! IT SCARED ME! BIG BROTHER WATCHING ME. The little toddlers in the family must think there was a "Giant Jack in the BEANSTALK" looking at those TALKING HEADS BIGGER THAN THEIR PARENTS!

It was quite depressing. But, I will say...that one of us brought a Music Video that we put on the MONSTER...and it was a QUIET ONE...and it was like BEING THERE IN CONCERT without spending the TICKET MASTER price...

I was so glad it wasn't LOUD and was just a nice, mellow 80's Group like "Hall & Oates" who have some newer stuff...but their oldie stuff didn't blow the toddlers away..or their parents and aunts and uncles.

But...I couldn't deal with that HI DEF STUFF GIGANTO's in my own home...with the VISUALS STUNTING ME...to feel so small and puny. And, that' why I don't have it.. And, I wonder how parents and sensitive deal with that GINORMOUS SCREEN...but in future years they nor their kids might understand what Orwell was trying to tell us with BIG BROTHER! They might be onto something very different and that HDTV might be in the Dustbin/Recycle...when a new ERA arrives.

:shrug: Just some futuristic thoughts....

[Swamp Rat]

29. Yes, this forgetfulness makes LiteByte Bandit very angry!!!

[myrna minx]

24. K&R n/t

[FarLeftRage]

25. corpoRATe media using hateful distractions

to keep We the People divided. I fucking despise the media!!

[Swamp Rat]

26. **tweet tweet!** ....... Story #2 on Hardball, approx. 10 minutes long

I could only stomach 10 minutes of corporate media (on one channel) to see what was covered during the 6 PM time slot. :puke:
