AMISH kids executions. Fox news coffee lounge approach - More disturbing ?

hmm I had a late one last night and on the Telly, flicked to news @ 3 am. I saw the intro story into the Amish Shootings, and thought ok go American so switched to FOX NEWS..

And then it hit me. At first I felt odd looking at the screen.. alomost jaw dropping in disbelief that Gret Van Whatchmylip was giving it to us live from outside the school...... but sitting on easy lounge chairs that would be welcomed on any talk show set.

There is something very odd and entirely not right with that? Then the local chief copper takes his lounge seat and is delivered questions by Greta something along the lines of...

"Do you think its harder to deal with knowing that children have been executed this way? "

huh....

She put the same question to the coroner too....... you know "Is it harder for you doing your job because they are children and have been executed this way ?"

then next onto the lounge seat was a local neighbour having a chat, some form of an attempt of a tv make up job was looked present on this one.

They had turned it into a bloody chat show, I feel something for Americans being pumped this, Do any americans on these boards notice these oddities or is it normalised for you all now..... ?

Coverage like that can only further desensitise the population and normalise chat show approach to newscasts .

Can the Brits imagine Trevor Mcdonought news @ 10 chatting to guests ,SITTING on bloody easy chairs outside a massacre scene in this country asking bloody stupid questions....

like hey "gun shot to the head, tell me, Does that like ,Hurt?" (turn to camera)
"We'll find out after these important messages from Heckler & Koch putting reassurance back in your hands"..... der de derr

Cheers Fox News..... *&^%$£$%% ^ WATS

"It was an event little noted by persons other than those of us who are devoted to the American Dream of Constitutional Democracy. But it will be long remembered by the whole world, if there is a future history to record it. On Sept. 29, 2006, the Congress of the United States passed what can be termed "The US Enabling Act." It is the equivalent of the Act by the same name passed by the German Reichstag on March 23, 1933. The latter gave the German Chancellor, Adolf Hitler, the power to over-ride the protections for freedom and liberty written into the German (Weimar) Constitution of the time, if he determined that so doing was necessary to protect the nation from terrorism and "actions endangering the state." It was under that Act, of course, that Hitler established his dictatorship. The US version gives the President the power to over-ride Articles I, II, V and VI and Amendments I, IV, V, VI and VIII of the US Constitution if he determines that it is necessary to do so to protect the nation from terrorism, if a person "purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States." (See, for example, "Rushing off a Cliff," New York Times Editorial, 9/28/06, "It's Mourning in America," a BuzzFlash Editorial, 9/29/06; "In Case I Disappear," William Rivers Pitt, truthout, 9/29/06.) We do not know at this time whether the long-term outcomes of the events of this week in the US will be in any way similar to those that befell the German nation and the German people, as well as the people of much of Europe, under the Hitlerites. The potential for Georgite harms of course spread much further, to the future of our species and perhaps to all the species of the Earth. What happens remains to be seen. But it will be much easier to fight the Georgites if people will begin to see the similarities between them and the Hitlerites."

I don't think that FOX news even touched on this. Some good diversions such as the slayings above and Foley getting exposed for being a Peado.

Thats pretty scary twalker, that section re supporting hostilities against the US is a bit of a large paintbrush stroke,if a person "purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States ,even covers discussion forums I suspect. Good grief where will it all end.

hmm is discussing both sides of a hostile situation and expressing empathy in the discussion considered to be an act of supporting hostilities? could be a very sticky wicket and hardly freedom of speech.

are we empathsisers, smypathsisers or just talking about it........ suppose we can have speech disclaimers put forward before we begin to open our mouth's, or push buttons, for the future maybe, citing our stance. Great.

A very big Paintbrush stroke indeed.

having a snoop at the headliners re rushing off a cliff..

These are some of the bill’s biggest flaws:

Enemy Combatants: A dangerously broad definition of “illegal enemy combatant” in the bill could subject legal residents of the United States, as well as foreign citizens living in their own countries, to summary arrest and indefinite detention with no hope of appeal. The president could give the power to apply this label to anyone he wanted.

well thats that then.....we'll all soon be labelled Logan 5 types and scheduled for the carousel for talking maybe...
