BOMB-CHILD POLICY DIFFERENCES NOTED
Australia’s ABC once fired a reporter for doing something similar to this. The BBC seems quite happy about it, however.
Good babysitters are so hard to find these days. They use the phone and watch TV instead of playing with the kiddies, they don’t put the children to bed on time, they make them play on and around unexploded ordnance…
Posted by Not My Problem on 2006 08 22 at 12:50 PM • permalinkWhat’s the difference? Give the kid a few years and he’ll be wearing more explosive than that into a Tel Aviv pizza parlor to become a glorious shaheed. The sooner he’s martyred, the sooner he goes to paradise.
The BBC seems to be OK with that line of thinking, so why should the rest of us bother ourselves with bourgeois, western concepts of morality?

#1 What Daniel said. If I got my first dose of news from the MSM, I’d probably be under the impression that Hezbollah was an organization of Middle Eastern Quakers dedicated to social uplift and that it was possible to drive from Canada to Greenland across a natural bridge composed of polar bear carcasses.
possible to drive from Canada to Greenland across a natural bridge composed of polar bear carcasses.
Wait. You’re saying it’s not?
There go my vacation plans.

But when y’all make fun of the evil stupids (evilupids?) of the idiocracy, I get sad.
Where will she go next? Possibly to Webdiary, where Margo Kingston could use some help negotiating the minefield that is the English language:
I get sad cause my grammar is even grimmer and that may mean I’m even evilupider.
Now I’m depressed. I need a pizza.
why is everyone so negative about the beeb. I’m quite grateful for this particular piece, as you can see here
Posted by rampisadmukerjee on 2006 08 22 at 03:55 PM • permalinkDid someone add the bold part of that caption? (from the link with boy by the bomb)
I don’t know that I’m going to pile on and condemn the photographers IF the photographers were responsible for the caption saying that the boy was pushed to stand next to the bomb. I can imagine Green Helmet standing there out of the frame directing things.
Granted, the staged pictures don’t have to be published but from what we’ve heard the reporters and photographers don’t get access unless they take pictures of what Hezballa wants them to take pictures of.
They could have just said that the boy found the bomb in his living room. Assuming they *did* say it, they didn’t *have* to tell us that he was pushed, that it was staged, but they did.
“To the Blair mobile Robin!”
Robin: “Holy molars! Am I ever glad I take good care of my teeth!”
Blair man: “True. You owe your life to dental hygiene.”vrooommm…..........
Blair man: “Gosh, Economics is sure a dull subject.”
Robin: “Oh, you must be jesting, Dick. Economics dull? The glamour, the romance of commerce… Hmm. It’s the very lifeblood of our country’s society.”“Now let’s get the evil Islamic Hezz-bol-air and save our society ..... Away!”
To be continued….. see you soon blairmain tim tam…
99, you really should stop taking that stuff….

Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2006 08 22 at 07:14 PM • permalinkWell golly! I found the photo to be quite helpful in providing context and perspective. Now if the photographer had just taken the detonator out to hold in his hand and compare it to the circuitry to an iPod or camera then that would have been even more helpful.

Posted by Vanguard of the Commentariat on 2006 08 22 at 08:15 PM • permalink22. Thanks Grimmy. I thought the place looked a little too upscale to be one of her units. She normally caters to the lower end of the market, you know, folks who don’t mind a “handyman special”.
Posted by Vanguard of the Commentariat on 2006 08 22 at 08:51 PM • permalinkThe ABC doesn’t fire people, they just make life difficult until you leave.
For instance, they change the screensaver on your PC to a picture of George W. Bush. Then they make the open/close program sounds little sound bites from John Howard, “We will decide who comes here…” and “Interest rates will remain lower under a Coalition Gover…..”
If all that fails, they switch your mug in the tea room for one that says “Gough was an Economic Vandal”
It works every time.
ok Andrea.oops
Continued… Robin and Blairman hop out of the Batmobile and sit in a secret cafe..
Blairman “Do you see the Riddler/Hezzee-bol-air?Robin: “Gosh, if I could just figure out that riddle from him, we could save the world. Why can’t I get it?”
Blairman: “Thank you waiter”.
Robin: “Gosh, Blairman, this Islamic camel grass juice is great.”
Blairman: “Beware of strong stimulants, Robin, they are kinda kooky.”
Continued: (da da da da da BLAIR_man) song
hmm, certainly gives new meaning to the expression “baby boom”...

This is why I don’t watch the news or read the papers. I use the blogosphere as a filter, once a story has passed the scrutiny of thousands of bloggers I can pay attention to it.
