Slog - Comments on This Is a Great Day for America http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/this_is_a_great_day_for_america The story isn't Paris Hilton going back to jail. The story is that the news channels have been live with the story for over an hour. I just heard some Nancy Grace type on MSNBC shout "This is a Great Day in America." Then the anchor twat turned and said, "Let's find out what other celebrities are saying about this." Paris is just not that bad compared to these jackals....

The coverage of this story on the day that the plug is pulled on Pace (ie., the surge isn't working) is absurd. Watching her car on the way to jail on Faux News, you could feel the excitement that another OJ situation was on. It's easy news time again - just point, shoot and turn the old brain off.

PARIS - The CIA ran secret prisons in Poland and Romania from 2003 to 2005 to interrogate al-Qaida suspects, a European investigator said Friday, detailing harsh treatment that included months of solitary confinement, shackling and sleep deprivation. A CIA spokesman called the report "biased and distorted."

Top terror suspects Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah were held and interrogated in Poland, according to the report, which cited unidentified CIA sources. Mohammed is the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and Abu Zubaydah is a suspected senior al-Qaida operative.


MSNBC Cuts Away From Pentagon To Paris [Hilton]

With obvious yelling in the background, MSNBC cut away from an interview with Colonel Rick Francona on the Defense Secretary replacing the Joint Chiefs Chairman Peter Pace, to show Paris Hilton leaving her house in West Hollywood to attend court.

Why do we put up with this?

Paris goes on a killing spree, taking out Lindsay, Britney, Nicole, and any number of other annoying pop tarts. She gets the death penalty, has her head shaved, and her execution is shown on pay per view for only a dollar per household. It still manges to be the most profitable TV spectacle ever!

Hey, Fnarf. Speaking of what a joke our free press is, Rudy Giuliani's press secretary had a reporter, Matt Lepacek, ejected from the post-GOP-debate press conference and arrested -- because the reporter was asking questions Giuliani's people didn't want to answer. Why don't you post about that to balance things out a bit?

1. It was announced in Paris.

2. Whenever there's especially heavy coverage by the American press of celebrity gossip, there's something that makes the U.S. government look bad being ignored.
