...it's already happened.
FOX NEWS ALERT
NORTH KOREA MAY FIRE TEST MISSILE WITHIN ONE MONTH CAPABLE OF REACHING THE U.S.
Fuck Fox. Where were they in 2003? In fact, where the fock was any of the news media in the United States?
North Korea has already fired a missile that landed in the United States.
Let me share with you the number of corporations that control the the media (newspapers, magazines, TV, Radio Stations, books, music, movies, videos, wire services, and photo agencies) within the United States today.
Are you ready?
The number is down from 50 (fifty) in 1983 to ........................................

.........................................................5.
In 2004.
Five (5).
5 !!!
No wonder such important news as a North Korean missile hitting the Alaskan coast never made it to viewer's ears. They were too busy being bombarded with the latest 'Fox News Alert' that Iraq was capable of taking out Cleveland with a mushroom cloud (false), had biological weapons trailers manufacturing WMD's (false), and was the most dangerous threat known to friends, family, Apple Pie, and our fortunate son G.W. Bush (hmmmm....maybe).
Our capitalistic system of free trade has failed us. Our Media is not serving our best interests by keeping us misinformed by omission.
A graph generously provided by Link illustrates the failure of the competitive media market as one large corporation devours another and then feeds us what is deemed correct for the time. A consolidation of media outlets encourages homogenization of newsworthy substance not competition, variety of perspective, or contradictory report to consumers. Flip from Fox, to CNN, to MSNBC - the same story is there, the spin is slightly different to attract a different market but the substance - the evidence - the lynchpins of the story remain the same - how curious.
It's simply a fact of everyday living - switch the channels. Compare / contrast, then, between the commercials that loop in between the looping 'news' segments find that common strain in every story and you realize you're not getting the whole story unless or until you consult outside U.S. media including, but not limited to:
the BBC
the London Guardian
the Sydney Morning Herald
Al-Jazeera.net
PrisonPlanet
and hosts of independent alternative media.
You are living in a media bubble.
Here's the skivvy on the N. Korean nuke that hit U.S. soil.

A much fuller and broader article is here which details the complicit U.S. involvement in assisting N. Korea in it's nuclear propagation from the Clinton ('94) to the Bush Era ('03):

Kind JU readers, take care and good night - I'm going to sleep without worries.
Bush&Co. have already declared they won't shoot back - 'cause they know it's all fun and wargames anyway.
Link
Hope they didn't scare you all too badly - like our country's leaders did last time with weapons we supplied to 'the enemy'.

(A younger Donald Rumsfield acts as special envoy of Pres. Reagan, shakes hands and gives Saddam WMDs and millions of taxpayer money in 'aide' - check out the video)
Then go to Resident JU SingrDave's report on the 500 chemical weapons from pre-1991....

Why doesn't the current admin. trumpet the new WMD's found in Iraq? Gee, maybe it's because they all have MADE IN AMERICA stamped on their side.
It's simply a matter of public record.
Nothing more, nothing less.
