And you can hear the newscasters doing
everything they can to build up the story,
its significance, and its dire portents
for the future of humanity.

I notice that the European news stations

news from the rest of the world.

Not so for the terrorism obsessed
US and UK. They're going to make this
into the biggest event since landing
a man on the moon if its the last thing
they do.

What gives?

It is dire. More than one hundred are dead, hundreds wounded, foreigners targeted in railroad station, restaurant, hotels... Hostages in Jewish center are all dead. One more backlash of barbaric violence of blinded fanatics, highly trained commandos in ongoing war... against civilians, innocent people. You know, you don't need brain to harm unsuspected passerby, especially if you armed, at least with bat. Who's fighting with whom? What are the sides in this cowardice war? What's the cause? Who paying for this? Who's benefiting? Unless we get clear answers for all arising questions, these incidents will be repeating.

Thisname, you raise some important ideas with this clip.
I'll attempt to be brief in my comments in addressing some of them.
Where would terrorism be without CNN and the BBC to endlessly pump up its significance?
There is no doubt in my mind that when the media hypes a terrorist incident it is to a certain extent giving the terrorists exactly what they desire,that being the spread of terror and attention to their acts and cause. However, the alternative (Soviet controlled media for example) of NOT covering the incident or downplaying it's significance is very dangerous and unhealthy as well.

Bear in mind this is not a school shooting done by a lone individual they are being a...

There have been many attacks in India prior to this one, and almost the same number killed in the 2006 train bombing. Yet this one is being called "India's 9/11".

See my latest clipmarks on Mumbai attacks where Democracy Now talks about media role in labeling and blowing up incidents beyond their rational and historic context, which leads to political ends.

Hindu Terrorists were arrested in India days prior to the attacks! Why is the MSM silent about them?
