“huh?”

“You're gonna have to spell it out for him V. He has no clue what we're talking about.”

“You guys crack me up.

Just because 2 companies are owned by the same people doesn't mean they work together, share resources, share rules of conduct, etc..”

“Gee Sarge, I thought you lumped all the media together as a bunch of disreputable prevaricators.”

“Gee Geo, even if that were true, that doesn't contradict what I just wrote. I wasn't commenting on anyone's honesty here, I was commenting on how businesses work. I think that's why a lot of people on here and I clash so many times. Don't read into things. I say what I say. Maybe I should spell out every possible interpretation of everything I write since people tend to have an overactive imagination.”

“Sarge - virtually all of Murdoch's publications and shows lean to the right. Murdoch does have considerable influence in editoral stances, and Blair realized to win in 97 he needed to get Murdoch onside.”

“If I were editing the Sun and those piccies fell in my lap then I'd run them, look at the attention it's got them.”

“Stop contradicting Sarge, Y2. He knows!”

“Pick up the NY Post sometime and compare it to the Sun, sarge. FAUX News is just the televised version.


Aaaanyway... I think this is an interesting portion of the story:

However, senior MoD sources last night revealed top brass on both sides of the Atlantic are secretly pleased.

The senior British military source said: “The Pentagon has to put up a strong public show of anger as it doesn’t look good for them if it looks like they leaked them.

“But commanders on the ground will be secretly quite pleased. It is a morale blow to the resistance to see their great leader so humbled.



Is it possible the administration would leak photos to humiliate a POW on purpose? Wouldn't a Murdoch owned news outlet seem the natural place for such propaganda?”

“But, ... would Shrub lie?”

“The article does crack me up:

His spokesman said: “He has been briefed. He wants to get to the bottom of it.”

LOLOL

BTW: I agree with Bush - it is hard to beleive the photos will piss off anyone that wasn't pro-Sadam.

It is interesting though that a US military source leaked the story to a Murdoch owned publication given where Murdoch's allegiances and alliances lie. I wonder if the leak was an authorized one (and, who knows, it might have been a smart move!).”

“Update: The Sun, a British tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch, said the photos it published Friday and today were provided by a U.S. military official it did not identify who hoped their release would deal a "body blow" to the insurgency.

Sun Managing Editor Graham Dudman told The Associated Press that the newspaper paid "a small sum" for the photos. He would not elaborate except to say it was more than 500 British pounds, which is about $900.

The New York Post, which is also owned by Murdoch, also published the photos on Friday.
