Ahnet wannabes - one finds a sign that says "Cande FACTery": Media Research Center Alert: > 2) Only one U.S. television reporter made it into Iraq, so we only had Peter Arnett giving credibility to the claims of the enemy. Now everyone has a reporter in Sudan, so we have many Arnett's delivering Arnett-like "reporting." For the Saturday CBS Evening News, from Khartoum CBS reporter Vicki Mabrey showed protests in the Sudanese capital as she relayed how officials there claim the destroyed factory did not make chemical agents but 70 percent of the nation's medicine. She concluded by making the U.S. the bad guy: "...Prior to this attack the Sudanese people thought of America as an arrogant but benign super-power which really didn't have any affect on their lives. Now, the United States has converted them into a nation of enemies." Mabrey didn't recall for viewers how U.S. soldiers were murdered by mobs in Sudan back in the Bush years, long before these missiles landed. Over on the August 22 NBC Nightly News reporter Ron Allen spoke with the plant manager, insisting: "He claims the plant makes common medications to treat malaria, tuberculosis, nearly half the drugs used in a country of 28 million people. A crucial medical facility, he says, destroyed by America." Allen at least did go on to allow that it would only take a small area to make chemical agents. Not to be outdone, ABC's Morton Dean discovered that an errant missile destroyed a "candy factory." No medicine and now the kids will die without candy! In Iraq the U.S. hit a "baby milk factory" and now this. It's amazing how our missiles never hit a metal stamping plant or something less attractive. Sunday night Mabrey was back with more woe on the CBS Evening News. She found a plant employee who is "sure the United States made a mistake." Driving home the impact of this "mistake" Mabrey stood in front of the rubble while holding medicine in her hands as she lamented: "For a country that's constantly battling famine and drought, for whom land an animals are a lifeline, this plant made and stored a two-year supply of antibiotics not only for animals, but also for people. This is amoxicillin (sp?), a garden variety antibiotic. They're found all over her in the wreckage." Ann, are these examples of "those who fail to support our Pres. when he takes action to stop the cowardly terrorists who blew up many innocent people, remind me of the way the boomers provided comfort to the enemies of democracy years ago & hobbled their own Pres. with their actions."
