Bob Laurence: Kidnapped Fox Reporters Deserve Their Fate |
Topic: Letters Sent to Romenesko
Date/Time: 8/21/2006 6:06:35 PM
Title: Journo kidnappings no longer the story it once was
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
From BOB LAURENCE ( bob.laurence AT uniontrib.com ) , TV critic, San
Diego Union-Tribune: I'd like to offer a couple of possible reasons for the
lack of attention given to the kidnapping of the two guys from Fox:
One is that, sadly, they are far from the first to be kidnapped,
injured or killed. They are, alas, only the most recent two of many. The
kidnapping or targeting of journalists in Iraq isn't the story it once was.
Second, Fox has deliberately set itself apart from other news media.
Starting at the top with Roger Ailes, the Fox sales pitch has been to deride
other media, to declare itself the one source of the real truth, the sole
source of 'fair and accurate' news reporting. As a result, there's not a
reservoir of kinship or good will with Fox on the part of the rest of the
news media. You can't keep insulting people and then expect friendship when
you need it.
They've made it a policy to keep a distance between themselves and the
rest of the media, far beyond the usual competitive spirit, so that's where
they are: at a distance.

Where does it say they "Deserve their Fate"?
Answer: it doesn't. Why do you say it does?
The story asked why the Media is relatively uninterested in the story,
and it gives reasons - none of which have anything to do with whether
or not the journalists "deserve their fate".

PBS' Gwen Ifle said that the terrorist group that
captured them was unknown until this incident. Does it
take a rocket scientist to figure out this is another
Murdock/Ailes publicity stunt. Sheesh you people are so
gullible.

Try to think straight and stay focused.
What has that got to do with the OP's claim that Bob Laurence says
they "deserve their fate"?

There is no fate, they are acting according to a
Fox/bush plan to make people affraid so they will let
bush take their freedom to make them safe. There is not
kidnaping and not terrorist group and these fox
jerkwads are just actors not reporters. This
facilitates the Murdock/bush plan to steal the US
treasury and turn everyone but the ultra rich little
kings and queens into their personal oil slaves.
You should think straight dude. Maybe act straight (
yes drugs and sex wise ) for a change. I am focused on
the big picture not your little troll goals.
Try eating you own ***** next time if you don't like
eating mine.

Nothing, you already made it clear he lied. Now the conversation will
progress.
