US TV Networks: Lost They Freaking Minds!

By Don Nash

Al-Jazeerah, August 31, 2006

So supposedly, two “journalists” were kidnapped in Gaza and held by some remarkably “unknown” terror cell for two weeks or close enough. Of course, this “unknown” terror cell was some dastardly “Islamic fascist” organization and the “unknown” terror cell bad guys forced a “conversion to Islam” on one of the “journalists.” Well of course. For starters, Islam would never “force” a conversion on anyone. One either believes or one doesn’t believe and “forcing” a conversion is pure ridiculous swill. Secondly, this “alleged” terror cell which was “allegedly” working in Gaza, was completely unknown to Fateh or Hamas. Fateh and Hamas would be the democratically elected government of the Palestinian people or commonly referred to by the outside world, the Palestinian Authority.

Now in a remarkably miraculous twist of curious events, the two “journalists” that had been kidnapped in Gaza by that aforementioned “unknown” terror cell, got themselves released by the “unknown” terror cell on the very day that the Primetime Emmys were to be broadcast. Oh, and those two “journalists” that were allegedly kidnapped? Worked for Fox News. Right. That would be Fox News of the truly fascist and hyper-sinister Rupert Murdoch. Bottom line? Somebody staged the entire episode. I mean think about it. Staging a “supposed” kidnapping in Gaza fits right in with Fox News histrionics about Islam, Islamic fascism, and their overall bigotry towards Muslims. Talk about being anti-Semitic. Talk about being irrational. Talk about lost they freaking minds.

Several weeks back on the very day that open rebellion against Prime Minister Tony ‘lap doggy’ Blair broke on the news world, up pops an “alleged” terror plot against the U.K., the U.S.A., and the airlines industry. Why, security forces were put on code red terror alert and the proverbial terror stuff hit the fan. Interminable lines were formed at airports in the U.K. and the U.S.A. and travelers were forced to wait, be searched, liquids dumped, and missed flights were in copious abundance. Of course, the bedeviled travelers stood around like sheep waiting on a slaughter and stated the glaringly obvious. That would be...baa! The news about Blair and his Cabinet revolution disappeared from the news radar and that was that. The “alleged” terror cell? Most have been sent packing back to their homes and a few are awaiting the British judicial system to do it’s wondrous judicial worst. By the by, none of those “alleged” terrorists had passports. Couldn’t have left the U.K. on a racing day bet. Talk about ridiculous. Talk about curiously curious. Talk about lost they freaking minds.

Then we come to the Ramsey/Karr curiosity. Mainstream media saturated and dominated the news reports for two freaking weeks. Poor little murdered girl and a creepy kind of creepy character in Thailand and so, dumb-ass dude confesses to the Ramsey killing and oh...my...god! ABCBSNBCNN pull out all the stops. It’s non-stop and round the clock coverage of absolutely nothing! NOTHING! The idiot that confessed to the little girl’s killing can’t be charged with the crime on account of his DNA doesn’t match the DNA recovered from the crime scene.

WHAT THE F*#K? Talk about lost they freaking minds! I’m worldly curious to know what in hell was really going on that journalism was supposed to be covering and didn’t on account of the Ramsey/Karr stupidity and media buffoonery. The Ramsey/Karr coverage was amateur journalism on a rank level. Media stupidity and media hyper-hysterics and media hilarity and media lost they freaking minds. It’s nuts kids and Americans are a large part of a global problem.

Real events and real news are happening somewhere out there on the global stage. War, horror, atrocity, genocide, preemptive insanity, and Israel. What do Americans get? Ramsey/Karr media crap-o-rama and talk about lost they freaking minds.

Wake up America, it just might be later than you may care to consider.
