QUOTE "As all news organizations do, NBC News does license footage that has already aired on NBC programs," wrote NBC News spokesman Barbara Levin. "As a general rule, most news organizations, including NBC News, do not obtain releases from people who appear on our news programs. "When we do license footage — as in this instance — NBC includes a provision that it is the responsibility of the licensee, not NBC, to obtain all required consents and releases necessary to use the footage," she wrote. looks like he might have a case

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 03:31 PM) She's on the air what, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year or so? I have no idea how much vacation time she got. Probably well over 200 shows per year. And they pull together like 6 or 7 quotes per year, which clearly proves she's a bleeding heart liberal. Yeah, there's some logic. Because I'm sure it'd be impossible for someone to sit down and come up with 20 times as many statements from the other side (Navy seals Rock!), or from the same side. And I'm sure she didn't read any of those off of a telestrator. And some of those are just really really stupid choices anyway. Like the only people who are annoyed with paying $3 a gallon for gas are Democrats, I'm sure. oh you're right, i'm sure she is completely unbiased/disciplined journalist.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 03:36 PM) So the Republicans are in favor of charter schools, as long as they do the exact same thing public schools do except cheaper. Guess maybe people should have thought of things like bad management before they came up with the whole idea, eh? there are plenty of public schools with bad management.

wow, the sox are sucking lately

haha, she's the perfect replacement for Rather

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 02:18 PM) Imagine if this happened at an all-white school. http://www.kabc.com/listingsEntry.asp?ID=437469&PT= An snippit: oh, if this was a white school it would be media story #1 for weeks. but it's not a white school so it will be considered 'cultural pride' by the media.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 12:53 AM) The way they go about it (a program where students are automatically opted in with their personal information being given out without their consent to an organization that has shown cannot keep the data secure) is incorrect. Interested parties will find out the option of the military. Plus, they are a discriminatory organization ("Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy specifically) so they are not allowed in most schools. And when the government threatens schools that don't allow this to go on, they get their funds taken away? That is bulls***. And yes, when you have about 500 allegations of recruiters lying to students to get them to sign up (and that was in 2005...and just the reported ones) A person who wants to join the military can and will. However, the way the government is involving themselves in the school system vis a vis military recruitment is totally asinine. haha, first off the army is not a disciminatory organization. with your standards ANY organization could be considered discriminatory. if they don't allow recruiters on campus they should lose their funds, the military is an important part of our country. oh, and 500 allegations isn't that much if you consider the amount of recruiting that goes on. but yea, they need to be honest with recruits... atleast we can agree on that.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 12:36 AM) With military recruiters, you do know that there are multiple Pentagon databases (one put in the No Child Left Behind legislation) where every school has to turn over data on high schoolers so they can look for potential recruits. The databases include personal information including birth dates, Social Security numbers, e-mail addresses, grade-point averages, ethnicity and what subjects the students are studying. When they can't keep their hands on keeping 26.2 million vets' info secure, I wonder how secure the information is for these kids. I'm not even going to get into the privacy debate because being in favor of this info dump to the US government in the current form is complete indefensible. Not to mention the schools that get targeted...The Globe inquiry found that recruiters target certain schools and students for heavy recruitment, and then won't give up easily: Officers call the chosen students repeatedly, tracking their responses in a computer program the Army calls "the Blueprint." Eligible students are hit with a blitz of mailings and home visits. Recruiters go hunting wherever teens from a targeted area hang out, following them to sporting events, shopping malls, and convenience stores. Officers are trained to analyze students and make a pitch according to what will strike a motivational chord -- job training, college scholarships, adventure, signing bonuses, or service to country. A high-school recruiting manual describes the Army as "a product which can be sold." The manual offers tips for recruiters to make themselves "indispensable" to schools; suggests tactics such as reading yearbooks to "mysteriously" know something about a prospect to spark the student's curiosity; notes that "it is only natural for people to resist" and suggests ways to turn aside objections; and lists techniques for closing the deal, such as the "challenge close": uhhh, so you think the army shouldn't recruit? do you want mandatory military service? a draft?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 10:50 AM) We would have to endure years of gridlock. Having a third party would increase the number of political deal making to get anything though Congress. i totally disagree

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2006 -> 11:57 AM) This story to me brings up an interesting point in the bias debate. I keep hearing that the problem is news only reports what will sell. If this is the case, why wasn't this stuff plastered all over the front pages of newspapers? People would have scooped this stuff up, it would played well on all of the talkshows, great pictures, great soundbytes etc, and yet nothing. People eat up this kind of stuff, and yet it only ran in Europe. it would have gone against the major newsrooms god of racial sensitivity. don't won't to offend anyone that isn't white or christian.
