"Mission Accomplished" down the Memory Hole
I'll stop calling these folks "Orwellian" when they stop using Nineteen-Eighty-Four as their operations manual.
My first thought was that the bottom of the screen is where you'd expect station identification from the feed would be, and that they were probably blocking that out. Dunno...

Posted by: Matt Weiner at November 7, 2006 03:20 PMThey may or may not have cut it out, but they did choose to broadcast a feed without the "Mission Accomplished" banner, something they have been salivating at making sure the public knew for the longest time. Perhaps the administration is finally seeing that hardly anything was accomplished and are trying to distance themselves from the idea that they thought something ever was.
