It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This

March 22, 2007: Islamic terrorists are encouraging their supporters, who
can write in English, to get on American web sites and pretend to be
friends or family members of American soldiers or marines. The "media
jehadis" are instructed to tell stories in line with the anti-war tone
of American and European media. Things like soldiers committing suicide
because they were forced to take part in atrocities in Iraq. Or wounded
soldiers suffering, or killing themselves, because of the poor care and
abuse they have received from the army. The media jihadis are told to
make it sound like they are simply passing on what a soldier said, not
to pretend to be a soldier or marine. Media jihadis are told not to
discuss anything from the Moslems side, and Moslems should only be
referred to as innocent victims. Never mention the Sunni-Shia conflict
or Islamic terrorism. Posters should not stick around for discussions,
lest they be found out. Care should be taken to select screen names
similar to other English speaking posters. Keep messages simple, so as
not to betray the fact that you are not a native English speaker.

This is a clever strategy, and whoever started posting it openly on Arab
language web sites, demonstrated a keen understanding of how the media
works in the West. Bad news is more believable, and stories like this
are already spread by the mass media. On some American anti-war sites,
American posters are already inventing such stories. Some will be
believed. That's the way the world works.

This strategy is already being executed by American media is very subtle
ways. For example, most American media stories about the suffering of
Iraqi civilians leaves out the fact that most of these victims are
Sunnis, or Shia who have been attacked by Sunni terrorists. Outside of
Sunni and partly Sunni areas, where 70 percent of the population lives,
economic conditions are much better, and there is little violence. But
by concentrating on the Sunnis, you get an anti-war human interest
story, without revealing that you are examining the self-inflicted
tribulations of the people who have caused all the problems in the first
place. Information War doesn't get any better than that.

This makes a lot of sense to me.

Does it to you?

indeed it doez.......

yeah it does to me also i have been living the miltary life for
a while i am not seperated from military husband yeah conditions are not
great over there we all know this when loved ones are going over there
and family's a freinds send packages as often as possible to make things
easier on them but there is only so much that can be done it is hard all
the way around for everyone

i am now seperated from my husband opps made on post above

Oh Verb, don't tell me that the American Media that bastion of truth and
justice could be manupliated by oustide forces, please say it isn't so
. Actually I am surprised that they waited for someone to to
do this instead of thinking of it themselves. The mainstream media is
not about reporting the facts, it is about putting a spin on the news
that will will advance the liberal cause and get them more viewers thus
increasing their market share and allowing them to charge more for
commercial time. What the liberal media does not understand is that
when they finally get their socialist utopia established the first
casualty will be a freedom of speach.

Such is the price we pay for having free press; it is easily manipulated
by outside sources. Although without free press, it'd simply be
manipulated by the state, so I suppose it's a wash.

And the media can be biased in either direction: right or left. For
myself, the biggest issue with media is not it's bias, as I am smart
enough to research and make up my own mind, but that it's a for profit
organization. It doesn't matter which party is in power or how unworthy
the subject, if it generates ratings, even if it's the most trivial
headline of the day, you'll see it on the news. For example, Anna Nicole
Smith's passing...I am saddened she died at such a young age and that
her daughter is left without her mother, but was it worth all the that
time on the news? Not in the least. This is the norm when running a
business, I suppose.
