Terry Jones - "let's get buck wild!"

This entire issue could easily have been averted if the media acted...

Morally. But because they are profit seeking, sales orientated, bound to advertiser's expectations - they do not. They put the crazy man on the TV and asked him questions. Russia Today did a great expo on it: Hilary Clinton is on screen saying "it's regret that pastor with a congregation of no more than 50...can make this outrageous...plan and get the world's attention...," her retort continues but is dubbed over images of anti-Islam demonstrations around Groud Zero and the planned Islamic Community Centre [posters saying NO CLUBHOUSE FOR TERRORISTS...ISLAM IS AN IDEOLOGY; A FALSE RELIGION OF HATE AND INTOLERANCE] as she states "it doesn't in anyway represent America or Americans... and we're hoping that the pastor decides not to do this...um...we're hoping against hope that if he does, it won't be covered...as a act of patriotism." Now, she does criticizes the media - yes. But she could have been more earnest about it, not that it would have eased tensions with Islam - but it would have made a few Americans think about the potency of their media.
