Osama bin Laden mainstream media Twitter campaign

new cross | 08.05.2011 14:54 | Analysis

Why is the mainstream media just repeating what the White House tells them about the
"death" of Osama bin Laden? Are these news stories driving you mad?

I'm trying to get an OBL Twitter campaign going, aimed at the mainstream media.

Its really easy to Tweet to BBC, CNN, Sky etc journalists, producers and
news programmes.

The Twitter address of these journalists can be easily found with the search function.

This is the tweet I'm using:

"Why don't you report and investigate the obvious staged and fake
nature of Osama bin Laden's "death"? Please do your job."

Good idea?

Media are getting away once again with their somnambulistic dance to the tunes of American racists and imperialists. Obama is the Black man with the Whitest brain and is in a frenzy to prove that he can excel any White president in imperialism, hypocrisy, and conmanship.

"No, it's a crap idea since you are clearly delusional."

Oh no, its the return of reality check. He who doesn't believe anything unless it

A Appears on the BBC
B Comes from the Whitehouse
C Has an entry in Wikipedia
D Has been peer reviewed by somebody with a BA.

In short, he's one of life's 'hangers on"! Never had a single original thought in his entire dullard of a life.

Ignore.

Bearing in mind the fact that the powers that be do have some strong interests in gaining information about OBLs organisation, to believe he has been killed is just about as ridiculous as believing in 45 minute WMDs trained on London!

If they do have OBL he will have been rendered to somewhere, probably in Europe, and will be undergoing torture/interrogation. When it seems he is not able to provide any more information, he will be disposed of...........possibly at sea!

This is really the only possible accurate outline of events............unless of course the future plans and current operational status of the world No 1 terror organisation, simply doesnt interest the government of the worlds No 1 terrorist nation!

I'm white and I know just what an evil fucker I am!

I've always though the black people were much nicer than me.

Am I a racist?

anonymous-ista

yes you are a racist

If you start discriminating against people based upon those believes that all black people are nicer than white people, then yes, you are a racist.

An easy test is to ask what if you made statements with the colours reversed?
Would it be frowned upon? The order of the colours doesn't really matter, its racist by definition.
