>>>Everyday I see pictures of young Iraqi children and an anonymous soldier, usually with a rifle. I see prisoners of war usually prostrate on the ground with their arms tied behind their back. Another common scene is explosion in the distance of one of our munitions. Only very rarely do I see a dead body, and I have not seen a single American body.
I don't watch TV so I don't know what footage is on the tube. These images are from newspapers and are mainly the ones on the front page.
Is this journalism? Is this a fair view of what it means to be at war?
What is your point Ergo? I don't see any pulling of punches when it comes to the video/photojournalists. I've seen dead childern, dead and wounded soldiers on both sides, live fire fights, destroyed buildings, hungry people, happy people, angry people... It looks like a war to me!
>I almost never read reports of the number of people killed military or civilian.
You need to get some different sources of news Ergo.
>I don't know if I have all the issues in there but my question to you is where is the Liberal press you are talking about?
The New York Times, The LA Times, The Washington Post, CNN, CBS, NPR etc. I'm not talking about the op-ed page, or the commentators, I'm talking about the so-called journalist. I posted an example a couple of days ago, guess you didn't read it.
>Where are the pro French pieces?
Haven't you been reading the stories the past few days about the imperialist Bush administration and their unwillingness to let the rightful participation of the UN [France, Germany, Russia] in the post-Saddam Iraq. Read the spin Ergo. Bush is an egomaniacal imperialist who's bucking the stalwarts of international law and righteousness.
Ergo, I want a FREE press that has a clearly defined line between REPORTING and COMMENTARY. Why is this so difficult to understand?
