I am betting you've seen it and just don't remember it. Images from the Boston bombing have been played repeatedly on multiple media outlets.

The Boston Marathon bombing happened less than 2 years ago. It makes the news when there are updates and new suspects. If they did a repeated retrospective on its anniversary, that would mean a whopping 1 time.

I live north of Boston and they don't discuss it "repeatedly" unless there is news to report. It's still an open case. 9/11 isn't.

let me repeat myself.

I have not seen a single thing about the boston marathon on TV. Ever, even when it happened, it was talked about sure but no images or videos or anything.

I simply do not believe you. There have been numerous occasions when it clips were played and images depicted.

Here is just a small example of some of the coverage that was out there. Almost ALL of them use footage and/or pictures from the bombing.

It was the one year anniversary in Boston and it was a very planned, very well attendant event.

Which means my summation was correct and the insinuation that Boston Marathon Bombing and Pearl Harbor are not continually played out by the media is dead wrong. The images from the marathon bombing are continually replayed. As well as video documentaries and clips from Pearl Harbor. If we had pictures media clips from Bunker Hill, Antietem, the Bombing of the Maine (supposed), we would be constantly playing them too.

The argument was posited that the media does not play clips or discuss the Boston Marathon Bombing. That is demonstrably incorrect. The media has constantly spoken to this and almost every time they do they play some clip or post some picture from the day of the bombing. That is the point. I don't know what your point is.

Why don't you report back on the 2nd anniversary of Boston, or the 5th, or better yet, the 13th.

If the images from Boston are "continually replayed" then please post this. No, a report on the events at the Hynes Center of the anniversary don't qualify.

The networks do not show video documentaries and clips from Pearl Harbor all day long on December 7
 
Think of it like the "10 minute hate" from 1984.

If we don't reinforce the need for perpetual war (war on terror), then the people might begin to lose faith in the holiness of the war abroad.

The argument he "posited" was correct unless you can provide evidence that the events of the Boston bombing are played all day on the anniversary, which I can assure you they are not.

The media has "constantly spoken" to what?

Geez... Pete, you aren't interested in what anyones has to say about that. All you want to do is establish a platform that allows you to go after Bush for something.

Nobody can put it on the back of any one person with what happened on 9-11.
It was a long time in coming and if someone want to politicize what happened then it's just partisan politics.

With what we learned from 9-11, we can't forget and repeat what led up to it, and that has me worried.

Again...for the learning impaired...The point was made that the media does not show clips from Pearl Harbor or the Boston Bombing. Both are demonstrably false. Because they don't show the clips all doesn't mean they don't show them. The clips from 9/11 are not shown all day either but that does not matter. The fact that we do play clips and pictures from both Pearl Harbor (74+ years later) and the Marathon Bombing (1+ years later) belies the argument they posited.

There is proof all over the you tube and media clips. Almost the number everytime the Boston Bombing is mentioned a video clip or picture from the bombing is played or showed. Every December 7 there is documentary and/or Movie and survivor stories etc. played on the media and on several channels. Your arguing a ridiculous and demonstrably false point.

OK. so you don't give a ****. That still doesn't mean that the media does not play video clips and or post pictures from the day of the bombing almost every time they mention the bombing.

For the learning impaired, we "post", we don't "posit" (again).

They also play clips from The Beverly Hillbillies when a cast member dies. I guess that means it's just like 9/11 clips.

Oh fun - papahs! Whatcha working on? School related mumbo jumbo? I miss college - I seem to create my own college level projects to work on from time to time just to keep occupied.

I started a publishing business - small press at first (of course). I have 2 large scale text works I'd like to accomplish in my life - and because of the herebrained complexity of it it'll be easier if I do it on my own and not become the middle man. Basically: the idea is centered around 'a picture is worth a thousand words' - it'll be a coffee table style books that takes art and poetry/short prose - and combines both together for a visual experience. Each written work will be written in response to the artwork. They'll be pair - art on the left, text it inspired on the right.

Uphill battle, here. I have to obtain permissions and copyright for each individual piece - but it's not going to hatch itself out of thin air, you know? In order for it to get done I have to actually do it (yeah - this is noble. lol - took me a year to accept that reality).

It's self-publishing, but it's not an ebook thing. It's grand scale - has to be in large format, hardback. Like an art book.

So - in order for me to do this on my own I had to gain access to book printer companies that have the ability to do this type of printing AND who can be an avenue through which I can get it into big-store connections. The only way to do that was to start my own official business and obtain an EIN.

Sounds exciting. I wish you luck and success.
 
smb said:
That is not true. Every year around December 7 we are treated to a whole host of documentaries and movies about Pearl Harbor.

Almost every time there is a marathon and certainly every time the Boston marathon is mentioned or played there are photos and/or videos of the Boston bombing.

Your statement is patently and demonstrably false.

Overreact much?

Do you know what the term posit means?????? I was not making a mistake between posit and post. I meant what I said about the argument which was posited.

And then you resort to reductio ad absurd um. I guess that is the only place you have to go at this point.

That speaks to intel failures, not why they want to hit us. OBL didn't like our troops in Saudi Arabia left there from the Gulf War, and that was one of the reasons they hit us.
