This is atypical of our society and the Liberal run media. Flash and controversy sells, no matter who it hurts, no matter if it is factual or not. One needs only to look at Iraq as a perfect example. Yes there are problems, as there are in any war. But we don't here about the good things like the schools and hospitals being built. About an infrastructure of democratic government being installed by the Iraqis, with our help. We hear only about:
- The prison issues (I refuse to call it abuse)
- A young man beheaded by a sick, evil group of terrorists
- Fighting with insurgents, many of whom are not Iraqis, and if they are are the leftovers of Sadamm's Republican Guard, who themselves are domestic terrorists
I am utterly sick of this nations media. Perfect example, Peter Jennings, whom I have lost immense respect for, doesn't even report about the bomb with Serin gas in it. Hmmmm... I wonder why. Because it doesn't serve him or his Liberal cronies well. Well I say too bad PJ, tell us the facts on everything or tell us nothing at all.
It is the same with the sports journalists. They report so many half truths and non - truths, I am sick of them.
I no longer look to the media for "real" news, just the headlines, then personal research tells the rest of the story.
Just one man's opinion.
