Poll for the FREAKS
This is what the CNN announced to me in the morning "Few Muslims 'back suicide bombs'" and even better, it seems most of them don't even support the unquestioned leader of all Muslims (or terrorists - same thing, right?) across the world, Osama. SURPRISE! These freaks are slowly getting civilized. Must be something to do with our grand civilizing mission in Iraq, no?
The article goes on to inform us that while the support for bombs has gone down among one group of freaks, it has gone up among another - the Palestinians. But, wait there is still hope. Most poor people have told the PEWcenter (the ones who conducted this poll) that they think the next generation will be "happier" (Ain??). I wonder what made them say that? Maybe the answer is WAR again.
Or maybe it's the other civilizing mission going on simultaneously - the spread of "markets" to these poor countries. That could be making them happy. Most starving but noble freaks in Latin America told the poll that that despite the electoral success of a new generation of left-wing leaders, they are better off living in a market economy. I guess I should stop calling them freaks since they are no longer commie types.
And still people wonder why I am so high-strung in the morning even without coffee, well what do you expect if this is the quality of journalism i get to sample first thing in the morning? AARGHHH
PS: Dont miss out on the last gold nugget the poll result throws out at us: America is the most feared but the friendliest country in the world. All freaks agree.
And.. you defenders of everything I say is wrong, I know I know that you have to play to your audience. And maybe CNN's audience is dense and thinks that terrorists= Muslims and maybe poor journalists are just trying to break that myth. But gawd, there has to be a better way to spoon feed donkeys that such shoddy and stereotype re-affirming garbage journalism.

CNN is no longer associated with journalism....wonder why you go there. Reuters is slightly better.
