BBC: US press unmoved by terror report

[Robbien]

Most US papers agree, the release of the extracts from the National Intelligence Estimate report which finds that US involvement in Iraq has fuelled global terrorism does not reveal anything new.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5386136.stm

The BBC article goes on to identify the major US papers and give examples of what they are reporting, but the gist of the article is in just the one paragraph above. The NIE makes US media yawn.

1. Unbelievable isn't it......?

5. How so? The article says that the report just said what most

Americans already know. The the war has increased terrorism and the likelihood of it happening in the future.

8. The US newspapers are failing to investigate anything..

yes Americans know but why is the news outlets not digging into the facts and presenting the facts....they are taking * at his word that everything is great....

[Robbien]

9. I believe what was meant by unbelieveable

is that the media is not making a big stink about how the BushCo admin and the GOP still stand on the idea that staying the course in Iraq is making Americans safer.

2. Yes, they also consider the new torture bill than now includes Americans

a big yawn, too.

3. I'd trade all of our media just to have the BBC.

Where the HELL our the wealthy liberals to buy us some media? :wtf:?

7. the BBC World Service is my main news source

Just as in the 20th century, people in countries under fascist occupation can rely on the BBC for news.

4. Stupid, jaundiced media

All the journalists are dead. In their places are partisan hacks, corporate buttwipes and empty-headed features reporters.

6. They can yawn all the way to the guillotine as far as I'm concerned.

Just making it worse for themselves IMO.
