I read it on the internet, during the first Iraq war I realized I couldn’t get accurate information from television and I started reading the other countries’ newspapers, lots of them to get a fuller picture.
I did the same thing. Eventually settled on The Times o India and a Singapore paper for the most reliable and complete coverage of Iraq.
U.S. news coverage was disgraceful -- from slanted to outright lies. Initially, the "embeds" were OK -- but they were exposed to only a microcosm of the war. Eventually, they started relating to the troops they were embedded with, became biased in their favor and, of course, the idea was kiboshed.
