Reminds me of another incident that happened recently *chuckle*

DK why haven't you jumped all over this as political douchbaggery?
It's Reutersgate all over again.

DK why haven't you jumped all over this as political douchbaggery?
Presumably because it's expedient for those DK favours politically.

Colour me unsurprised.

Only Lewis Black will mention this. Republicans and "Sensible Right-Wing Americans" will merely ignore it.

Hooray for selective media! Hooray!

*shrug*

I'm more concerned over why every scandal - no matter how minor - has to have the word "gate" jammed clumsily on the end. What if Bill Gates got investigated by the IRS? Sub-editors the world over would be dying with smiles on their faces.

Now now ... DK is an independent.

(Disclaimer: "Independent" is a wholly owned subsidiary of the right wing and any referrence to the "Independent" must be done under careful written consent of the Republican Party and/or Joseph Leiberman. Failure to do so can result in the offender being named a dissident and, thus, subject to imprisonment at Guantanimo or fined as no less than $75,000 and no more than your soul. "Independent" is now, and always shall be, the sole property of "Republican Lite" est. 1996)

Wait ... what was I saying?

..although, having now actually read the article, this doesn't even deserve a -gate suffix. This is not remotely scandalous. It's not outrageous, and it's not shocking (besides exploiting a national tragedy of course). It's just some guy whose ad workers couldn't be bothered to track down some actual footage so just made some up. Who cares, the message is the same, it's not even exaggerated.

well DK makes a big deal out of some smoke added to a photo in Lebanon so I had to razz him about this because he is constantly defending Republicans when they are called on anythign it seems and I would say the two issues are strikingly similar.

Plus I don't know why everything becomes a Gate but it makes things seem more sinister than they actually are so it's fun to use.

hmm i'll have to go and find that other thread now. Expect a detailed compare/contrast here at some point.

Using pictures of the 9/11 attacks to attack political opponents is disgraceful. Remember how Americans were united after September 2001.

Yeah, I remember. I also remember that it took Karl Rove about 30 seconds to come up with ways they could be exploited for political gain. Hell, compared to the ads that morphed Max Cleland into Osama Bin Laden, these ads are tame.

And people wonder why I'm angry at Republicans all the damn time.

A former Georgia Senator if I remember right.

I saw that DeWine ad way back when it first aired. I responded by donating $100 to Sherrod Brown's campaign.

Only Lewis Black will mention this. Republicans and "Sensible Right-Wing Americans" will merely ignore it.

More example of the Evil Liberal Media and its endless campaign of persecution against every righteous God-fearing Republican.

:D

Nice. That reminds me of the way Dean used that sort of crap to push donations during the primary season. Hell, there were people who would send Dean ten bucks if a troll popped up on the Dean for America blog.

DK bitched about Reuters using a doctored photo for a story on another Israeli attack on Lebanon and whinged about liberal media, etc. etc.

You cared enough to ask a question when you could have satisfied your curiosity by opening another tab and doing a search that would have taken you five freaking seconds. If you didn't care, then why did you ask?

Nice. That reminds me of the way Dean used that sort of crap to push donations during the primary season. Hell, there were people who would send Dean ten bucks if a troll popped up on the Dean for America blog.There are two big differences. 1: Sherrod Brown didn't ask me for anything. I just happened to see the DeWine ad on TV as it first aired. 2: DeWine the Troll is the Republican nominee for US Senate, not some anonymous poster.

You cared enough to ask a question when you could have satisfied your curiosity by opening another tab and doing a search that would have taken you five freaking seconds. If you didn't care, then why did you ask?

Which part of "when bitching about shoddy writing" was it you missed? I don't care about his missing limbs - I'm bitching about the poor writing in the article. If you missed that as well, my "questions" were rhetorical. (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?sourceid=Mozilla-search&va=rhetorical)

Sesame Street is brought to you today by the word "Hypocrisy."

If the point is that somebody point out these things isnt it enough that someone bitched about this case?


Or are you bitching because DK didnt start this thread first?

Did you somehow divine that DK had knowlege of this event before you posted about it?

Do you have reason to believe he should have known about it beforehand?

Is he somehow bound to report every photoshopped photo in news stories and in political campaigns?

Did he gig you because you were not fast enough to say the Reuters photo was deplorable?

You are actually better off than if he had been first to start a thread about this. If DK had started this thread it would probably have had a title that gave the Senator's name rather than just saying "Republican Senator". That would be less propaganda for your side. By using "Republican Senator" you were able to paint em all with the same brush. You got the first punch in. So by DK not starting the thread you win that battle.

I still dont see why DK is involved other than you dont like DK and wanted a dig at him. That's fine many people dont. But when you attack on no basis and out of the blue it just makes whatever you might say about him in the future suspect and tactical rather than substantial and objective.

Todays observation brought to you by the Not bad sharpening service. We can always tell when an axe is being ground.

The ad never claimed the video was an actual representation of the 9/11 attacks. Additionally, the purpose of the ad was clearly to change people's opinions, and inherently biased. The Lebanongate photo was supposed to be from an unbiased news organization reporting the facts.

...

Is it possible to get that dumb just breathing in the air in Georgia?
Certainly seems that way, judging by my relatives.

Anyway, despite the somewhat questionable tactic of using the 9/11 attack in the ad in the first place, it seems more like an honest gaffe than something scandelous.

Still, DK should be ranting about this, and we should keep bringing this up in the future if he never says anything about it. After all, it's always nice to have more ammunition.

Considering you've bothered to post a reply, your inability to grasp how NationStates General is a forum where such things can be discussed and replied to is all the more cute. DK could have posted a reply to this by now, but so far he hasn't. And given his bitchfest thread on the Reuters incident like it was another glaring example of Libuhrel Hayt against the Right, the silence is deafening.

Your idea of identical nature is just adorable if absolutely wrong.

Oh hey look at me I'm attacking the same way you do! Without making a single point, just half witted attacks. I feel all dirty now.

That is not the sentence of a person who should be advising others to purchase dictionaries. I cannot even defend against it as it has no meaning whatsoever.



And again you missed the point completely on the word "Hypocrisy." Try getting a dictionary.

I understand hypocrisy perfectly after reading your drivel. Does your dictionary have a definition for "Libuhrel Hayt" though? I think you might have twisted the spelling as it went through the logic portion of your thoughts.

Well, they're certainly highly similar, Captain Semantic. People lying with photoshop to exploit tragedy to futher a political agenda. That scores pretty high on the Douche-ometer.

You missed out the respect and kudos offered to him by the right.
Like what Ann Coulter said about him: “If Cleland had dropped a grenade on himself at Fort Dix rather than in Vietnam, he would never have been a U.S. Senator in the first place.”

Funny that. I was always under the impression that the Right were obsessed with the military and hammered on and on about how noble 'our' soldiers are and how anyone who insulted them were the lowest form of life and shouldn't be allowed to stay in America, nor even continue breathing.

Guess you're only worthy if you don't vote/stand for the opposition.

The ad never claimed the video was an actual representation of the 9/11 attacks.

You get my apologist sycophant ass-licker of the year award!

Fake propaganda is just lying. Lying is evil.

Repeatedly showing the 9/11 attacks isn't really pro-American propaganda. Hell, the Islamists probably like to replay it again and again.

Unless, by pro-American propaganda you mean pro-Republican propaganda. Now I understand.

So we trot out the professional victims that are mortified that this ad was ever used, let alone rendered incorrectly. And it was a rendering, not a photo. It was incorrect, not to embellish the incident, but because some artist goofed.

What's the problem?

Go on, admit you like feeling all dirty inside. Much like Coulter herself, it turns you on ;)
Her pussy is snaggle-toothed. I should know, it killed my donkey.

I guess my real question is "What harm did the error in the rendering do?"

Because political ads lie. THat's what they do. They don't claim for lack of bias and truthfulness like the MSM.

Politicians lie. Journalists lie. Anybody disputing it is an idiot.

And anybody saying 'Politicians and Journos lie EXCEPT MY PARTY/NEWSPAPER" is a bigger idiot.

Before I answer that, care to answer this question: "What harm did the photoshopping of the Lebannon pic do?"

The point was, reuters was always suppost to be the most "impartial news source" and was never bias and anything that came from them must be true.

No one says the same thing about the Republican Senator.

There is a difference between polticians and news agencies altering photos.

There is a difference between poltical attack ads, and what are supposed to be legitimate photos from a news story.

For either group to do it is digusting, but for a news agancy to do it is worse.

Hey everybody, I think that we all know that people like this guy and Myrmowat's his name would be engaging in hell-worth denouncements if the Democrats did this.

Can I get an amen to that?

Shame you don't put as much energy into reading

Too bad you don't either, it would seem, seeing as I was bitching about the term. It does go on to later describe the missing limbs, but it starts off with "triple amputee" and leaves it at that. A shoddy writing, indeed, as it's a very poor way of making you want to read more to find out what. "Oooh, triple amputee. I must know what - maybe they'll mention it somewhere!" Yeah, right.

as you do into hurling venom and spite at anyone who dares disagree with you.

Now, where would the fun be in that?

When I realized the Republican party would simultaniously denounce Clinton for having a blow job in his office and yet praise Newt Gingrich who carried on a LONG TERM relationship with another woman while his wife had CANCER...I realized the hypocracy of the right, and am no longer surprised by it.

Sufficient to say, if this was a democrat, fox news right now would be calling it a sign of the moral decay of the left.

Just so you know, honesty is not expected from any politician any more. Supreme court in Washington ruled last year that lying in a political ad was protected free speech.

It was a political mailing last October. It horribly misrepresented the voting record of the opponent. Misrepresented to the point that the court did rule it was deliberate.
However, it ruled that the 1st amendment protected that mailing.

Just so you know, honesty is not expected from any politician any more. Supreme court in Washington ruled last year that lying in a political ad was protected free speech.

While at the same time the "constitutional" McCain-Feingold incumbant protection act, prevents people from even using a politicians name 2 months before the election, completely restricting their 1st Amendment rights.

True enough. A rule for one party should be a rule for another. Unfortunately, since it seemed like everybody rushed to defend the liberal media outlets that were doing the picture doctoring the first time around, I don't think it's realistic to lambast THIS guy just because he decided to follow suit.

Like I said. A rule for one is a rule for all.

Unfortunately, it would seem the media at large has a philosophy that goes like, "if you don't have a good news story to report, invent one."

Damn nice of you to project your bias and ignornance on to the rest of us. If you can't tell the difference between a rendering in a campaign ad and a photo that depicts an actual event ... I guess anything else I might add would be wasted on you.

Pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself on how smart you are.

Not just Fox News. For proof, I remind everyone of what the morning shows tried to do to Democratic Congressman Robert Wexler after his appearance on the Colbert Report. Fox was particularly egregious in the way they cut the original footage without letting anyone know they'd cut it, but all of the major networks were ridiculous about it.

I don't know who this group of "everybody" is but when DK posted his story, I said "Stupid photographer/journalist. Stupid editor." - I felt that it was wrong to do it then and I felt it wrong for this guy to do it. I also saw everyone else saying it was a stupid thing to do. I did see people defending Reuters saying that they could have possibly overlooked the fact that the photo was doctored, which is not impossible. Reuters is pretty well known for having an impartial view most of the time.

I wouldn't have said anything about this story in the first place but seeing as how DK loves to go after the 'liberal media' (anyone not kissing conservative/military ass), I thought it would be a fun way to razz him about it, and semantics aside, I think the comparison is quite similar.

I never really would have expected him to bring this story to our attention, and whomever said that a political ad should be expected to have some spin is entirely correct, but anyone with a half a brain shouldn't really expect every Reuters (or anybody elses) news article to be completely bias free. Is it even possible to have a bias free article?

DK is honest enough (sometimes - to make it in the Senate, politicians have to be courteous to each other? lol) to say that politicians are untrustworthy so I don't think that this story will be a shocking revelation to him.

*Sees your sig*

No, you're not biased at all, are you? ;)

If you can't tell the difference between a rendering in a campaign ad and a photo that depicts an actual event
So the Republican was presenting a fictional event in which smoke was, for some unexplained reason, emerging from a hole in a skyscraper?

They only showed 2 (that I have seen) over here.

Did your agencies show more?

DeWine is one of my senators. As far as Republicans go, he is less objectionable than most. But my opinion of him has dropped recently (in part thanks to his ads...I don't like seeing ads that lie and smear), and even though I am not entirely happy with Sherrod Brown I will still support Brown in the general election.
