Did MSNBC cut off their Reporter when he begins to report Civilian Deaths?

MSNBC's correspondent Jim Maceda in Tripoli, Libya is being interviewed on the overnight missile bombardment on Libya's defenses. The US warships launched more than 140 cruise missiles at anti aircraft command posts. Jim reports on the confrontation happening on other places like Benghazi and Misurata, but when he begins reporting on the civilians deaths, the signal is suddenly lost at 3:08. Whether this was a result of technical difficulties or censorship remains to be seen.

The Entire interview is here. The video stream is cut at 3 minutes 7 seconds.

Conspiracy? Perhaps. How open are the mainstream media being about civilian deaths? If this is a conspiracy, then the media will, in general, try to keep quiet about civilian deaths; but if the media openly reports civilian deaths then we know there is no conspiracy...

Who am I kidding? The mainstream media will never openly report civilian deaths... we'll get one or two reports, perhaps something on 20/20 or 60 minutes if we are lucky, a scathing editorial by Bill Moyers or Paul Krugman in the Huffington Post and a lot of misinformation and denials from the government and military officials...

Alternet.org who are traditionally an anti-war web site seem to have relatively few worries about going to war again. And even Democracy Now don't seem to be that bothered by US involvement in regime change for another oil-rich country with a relatively high standard of living...

Putting Obama in power was a genius move by the pro-war establishment... if McCain would have won the election, the anti-war people would be making a lot of noise right now... instead you can hardly hear a peep.

S&F ......This is the same operation that went off in Iraq and Afghanistan .....They are killing peoples ,,,using depleted uranium ammunition's and looking to have a strategic military base established to forward their next target with the end result being Iran ....who, and in what order is a question one might guess,as I am sure there are countries that are asking that question, themselves .....peace

Sounds like a start of a good conspiracy to me!! Think about what people would think and say or should I say protest to the U.S. government if they heard that civilians were dying because of our involvement in this war!! It would be insane, so they are going to cover it up as much as possible to keep the truth from the people trying to find it. 9/11 ring a bell?? How about the war in Afganistan?? That war has been going on for a really long time and what do we actually hear about it???? Nothing....Just like what we will hear about this one.

Oh yeah, they definitely cut him off. They're trying to hush hush the murdering and oil crusade as much as they can until they can bring "democracy" which will make the masses think "see it was all justified!" regardless of how many civilians died.

BULL

What??? We actually need to have a point to post on here??? Crap now I have to go back and delete all of my posts!!

I prefer to call it corporate culture, groupthink, bandwagon, etc, versus conspiracy as it's less secret and more implied and unwritten understanding.

No worries. It's just that my native language is not English. And, it can get difficult at times to interpret what's being said.

Is this America only?

Only ask because the MSM in the UK does report on civilian deaths when they occur.

We dont need MSNBC to see that civilian are dying
AT LEAST 40 CIVILIANS DEAD IN TRIPOLI STRIKES: VATICAN OFFICIAL

I find it hillarious that a regime such as the U.S. spreads propganda of bringing DEMOCRACY to suppressed countries under other regimes, when in reality the U.S. IS NOT a democracy at all. Suppressing democracy was what the U.S. Constitution was about. Look at congressional records to find who your "founding fathers" actually were and you'll find that they weren't what your history books glorifies them to be.

The "Framers" were the elite upper class that wanted to create a medium
in which the MINORITY (money class, creditors, etc.) could control the "Factions" (majority, freeholders, lower class) and look what we have now! The same upperclassmen control our country just as the "founding fathers" wanted.

How stupid do they think we are? It is INEVITABLE that civilians will get killed in any war and by playing down and even denying civilian casualties just makes it look even more suspicious than it already is. When will enough be enough? How much longer must we allow our leaders to lie in order to make a grab for resources so the people who pay them off can get richer?

Very true. If the US would have been a true democracy, we would have seen the emergence of a third party as seen in other countries like UK or India. People in US go to vote to feel good about themselves, as if their vote really counts. It doesn't. Bush, Obama, Clinton. Their all the same.

Yep. CENSORED.
@ 3:08

Majority of NATO operations are taken over by the UK and France with US-backing them up.

The US is both democracy and a Republic. i'm not into those stuff because i don't know them much but if US were a democracy, it would like saying that hanging a person would be ok. The US is a republic so rules are more better than no rules.

Sadly, they don't in New Zealand...

Remember, NBC is owned by GE. We do not want corporate getting ticked at the reporter for hurting stock prices do we?

Major U.S. commercial broadcasting company. It was formed in 1926 by RCA Corp., General Electric Co. (GE), and Westinghouse and was the first U.S. company to operate a broadcast network. Directed by RCA's president David Sarnoff, it became wholly owned by RCA in 1930. NBC was initially divided into the semi-independent Blue Network, based on station WJZ, and the Red Network, based on WEAF, each with links to stations in other cities. By 1938 the Red Network carried 75% of NBC's programs. The Blue Network was sold in 1941 and became the American Broadcasting Co. (ABC). NBC entered television broadcasting in a weakened position, and by 1952 it trailed CBS in audience ratings, though it gradually regained its leading position. In 1986 RCA was sold to GE; in 1987 NBC sold its radio networks. In the 1990s NBC expanded its cable television programming, creating MSNBC (an alliance with Microsoft) and CNBC (an alliance with Dow Jones).

Here is GE.

Major U.S. corporation and one of the largest companies in the world.

The company established a research laboratory in 1900, and many of its later products, including various home appliances, were developed by in-house scientists. In 1986 GE purchased the RCA Corp., including its television network, NBC. GE's headquarters are in Fairfield, Conn.

Remember profits are king. Bad news means for bad profits on Wall Street. Do not be fooled. Big business does run the show and these companies make billions of dollars producing goods for war. This is the Military industrial complex in full force. Money, it is all about the money, not some poor civilian getting the raw end of the deal. Pay more close attention to the news. You will find that this happens more than you think.
