Get out now, and lets talk about what went wrong later. There's enough blame to go around, but to stay is assinine. Wind this thing up. The Iraqis (with the exception of a few hundred on our payroll) want us out. they showed that this weekend, with tens of thousands in the streets shouting American occupiers go home, can you get it, they don't want us there, so lets leave. Fuck the corporations, let Blackstone protect their interests. Those guys are getting 100K+ a year to risk their lives, GTF out now!!!!

[GrowRebel]

I'm with you on the whole we shouldn't be in Iraq thing, and the fact that Bush is an idiot, but Prisonplanet?? I mean seriously...come on GrowRebel, leave that nonsense to pisshead.

Again I ask .... what about prisonplanet that lack credibility? ....site something ... :wtf:

The only people who want American soldiars in Iraq is the Iraq government because they know once the Americans are gone they will loose power,and the American neocons with the help of their corporate masters want to stay in Iraq because of all the money they are making from the tax payers of America.Remember Dick Cheney before he dicks you

And what the hell does all this rhetoric have to do with the thread topic?

You DO have the option of opening a new thread with this agenda or replying to the countless others.

All U.S. (probably worldwide) media lacks credibility. Doesn't matter if it's PrisonPlanet, Fox News, or someone in between. It's all about the $. The truth is rarely as exiting as the 1/2 or 1/4 truth, in fact it's usually rather boring. Boring doesn't sell newspapers, get viewers, or hits on a website and, more importantly, boring doesn't sell advertising space. So, these "truthful" stories are carefully crafted to get the desired audience's attention, keep it, and lead them to believe whatever the particular media source, and their sponsors, want them to believe. Some people will look at that news, call "bullshit" and leave, but for many others the hook will be set. Then that specific media source just keeps feeding the same crap out and it's audience eagerly eats it up.

As for PrisonPlanet specifically, a quick look at their sponsors say's a lot. Water Filters and long-term storable food?? They cater to unibomber types; people terrified of the government and hiding out in a cabin deep int the woods. Sories like "Man's homemade flying saucer to be developed as surveillance drone" don't really give me confidence that they are 100% truthful without any agenda. Sure, it's the "truth" but like I mentioned above, it's a truth that's been carefully crafted to give it exactly the kind of spin they want it to have.

Take, for example, any story that starts out "Expert in the field states that.....". Now, it doesn't really matter if they contacted 1000 "experts" in the field and only one, the guy who was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia and generally considered a crackpot in his field, agreed with what they wanted to hear. They just don't mention the other 999 experts. Technically, it isn't a lie. The truth is they found an "expert" that told them what they wanted. Right???

But hey, believe what you want. What right do I have to tell you to take off the tin-foil hat.

Fengzi also a lot of these experts are paid for their view so u have to take things with a grain of salt.People have there own agenda and alot of the time money is usually behind every agenda.Im not saying everything at prison planet is bullshit BUT alot of it is designed for the soo called outer fringes of sociaty.I remember january 1 2000 was suppose to be the end of everything that we know of .People were predicting total caouse and a lot of people bought security sheltors and land in the woods and basicly believed some of the hype that some media types were spewing out.So take everything with a grain of salt and be well informed ................peace

Exactly fishman!! You get it :thumbsup: Whether the "experts" are being paid, have their own agenda, or are simply nuts doesn't matter. The media will still pull them out of thew woodwork to back up their stories. Maybe I'm just cynical, but I have come to distrust pretty much anything the media says, certainly the more sensationalistic stuff. If you weren't there yourself, you can never know what really happened.

So you can't site anything specific about prison planet's reporting ..... you just think they lack credibility because of their sponsors? ..... and I'm the one with the tin-foil hat?:wtf:

:noel:

GrowRebal you just have to take a broader look at the whole picture before you can make an informed decision on things is what Fengzi is trying to say i think.
