Afghanistan Leans Away From CensorshipPosted on Mar 14, 2010
The Afghan government has stepped away from a total ban on the broadcasting of “disturbing images” that was implemented earlier this month. The move had set off howls among media and rights groups. The initial censorship law used the decades-old excuse that such images would embolden the enemy. Many critics say that images of security operations would point up the shortcomings of government forces in dealing with insurgent attacks. —JCL

When i quit watching Keith, Cris, and the girl…
I believe it was around election time or shortly after..
It was great to them take Limbaugh to task and make the
baffoon out of him that he is….for a day….
But instead of reporting news…...for three weeks
Report thisone hour after the other , first Cris, then Keith, then
the girl, with help always from Eugene….damning
Rush Limbaugh, giving him waaaayyyyyy more coverage than
he deserves…..day after day…..when there was so much
news that needed reporting…..I shook my head and thought
another wasted opportunity for a major network to make
a difference..
There were and still are as guilty as FOX ever has
been in not reporting news….just damning the enemy…

All present journalism is doing is helping
Report thisCapitol Hill rewrite history…to be more favorable for
them….
Was anyone ever held accountable for the 10 to 15 billion
(whats 5 billion or so) that vanished at the Bagdad
airport and made to pay it back….journalism dropped that
one.
Has anyone been held accountable for billions wasted
building an unnessessary embassy in Bagdad, all the graft
, no bid contracts in which billions were in reality just
given away by Capitol Hill of taxpayers money ????
Journalism dropped that one.
For years now we have been told that there will be no
permanent bases built in Iraq, that permanent occupation
was not apart of the mix , and that everyone and their
brother knows that isn’t true…
Journalism dropped that one toooooooooo….....
or that Americans main interest in Afganistan is to
establish a route to unload the resources from the
Caspian Sea, that terrorism is being used as the lame
excuse to do this…
NOOO NOOO, journalism has never even brought this up!!!
Has journalism taken Obama to task or questioned him
why, when he was president elect that he remained silent
while Isreal unloaded phosphorous and cluster on trapped
humans in Gaza…. no, no, gosh no, for he is our
Savior….......Our mainstream savior , our status quo
savior, our wall street protector, our pill pushers
salesman, our ins companies spokesman..

They just may be right Truth Dig…..
It is pointless to point out to Truth Diggers that the
whole employment system in this country revolves around
spending for the military and its wars,,,and that there
is very little return for the buck…that most of it
ends up upstairs with our investment bankers,, that
before we even begin to discuss the ending of terrorism
this employment system HAS to be addressed by our
lawmakers as soon as posible..and that it has also
bankrupted our nation just as it did the Soviet Union, who
in order to pay back all their waste on the military had
to give their country away to foriegn inverstors making
filthy rich the old executives of the Soviet Union and
leaving its citizens in poverty and hunger. The same that
is happening right now in the United States of America and
has been happening all along except now it is even
affecting the “middleclass” and feathers are getting
ruffled, not because of the waste or the blood or the
thievery,,,,but because their precious pocketbooks are
getting robbed also now…......poor, poor, babies….
This is also considered pointless….SAMOSAMO huh, samo ??

And there is not one damn thing pointless
about the great topical song written and sung

BUT YA CAN’T MAKE IT HERE ANYMORE
Report thisit, of course, was also considered pointless
for it is not mainstream enough
for TRUTH DIG POSTERS

It is no wonder that the citizens assosiated with
the tea baggers are running to the right….
Yesterday, some of your long time posters, the very ones
that I believe are some your best commenters…labeled
me pointless.
Here are some of the pointless issues.
Report thisWhere are the numbers indicating just how much someone
is going to be mandated to pay the insurance companies
for the samosamo health care coverage…Is someone making
25k or less still going to have to come up with $500
a month or so…???????? That question was considered
pointless…...
The House of Representatives just voted on a war powers
authorization…. war won 356 to 65 .....
I emphasized this vote….....it was considered pointless
Terrorism (which apparently everyone has trouble defining)
was being defined again on post in which the Author
wrote an article showing with sarcasm just how rediculous
this discussion is… This is journalism fault..
I made this point…..It was considered pointless.
Listening to Dr. West and his discussion about “fault lines”, it didn’t take long into the video to realize
Dr. West was saying a whole lot about nothing.. The
questioneer’s head was even shaking…like SAY something
Dr. West..
I commented on that…..it was considered pointless..
For six weeks now, TD posters have ranted on and on
and on about Glen Beck and the tea baggers…saying
almost nothing, just demonizing the citizens, offering
nothing that might just strike into those potential votes.
I commented on this…...it was considered pointless.
What I consider pointless is what is going on
at the Calling All Rebels post…................

Well Truth Dig ,,, i quess that i have this
blog for myself also…. Even though I do make
multible consecutive posts, I usually do wait until
most have made their comments or the same comment starts
getting repeated over and over… Then when I come on
with my multible two liners, feathers get ruffled.
Thank you for offering this article,, I believe it is
Report thisa very important issue…...especially with all the complaints that are registared on TD about our spineless
media corp. Need also to thank the editors of
Truth Dig for your articles on the Iraq elections,,,,
it offered space for so many that have expressed so much
concern for U.S. involvement in that country, it is
ashame that no one took the opportunity that you gave them
to comment on the U.S. occupation of that country.
How much money was spent to fill corporate executives
pockets and how much U.S. and Iraqi blood was
spilled needlessly in order to fill those executives
pockets.
I very well may seem quite obnoxious at times Truth Dig
, but it is for these very reasons that i have just
mentioned…
