When I'm overseas, I marvel at the knee-jerk anti-americanism in the papers. You think media bias here is bad? In some countries, I'm not sure if impartiality is even considered a journalistic standard. I remember reading a straight news article in India and the caption under Bush's picture was "Hell bent on war". They are slavishly liberal and unlike here, they are not discreet about it.

On one side we have the US, laboring to uphold the rule of law and the Geneva Convention On the other side we have Al Qaeda and its sympathizers such as Saddam Hussain, taking the rule of law and the Geneva Convention as a road map for what they will not do.
"Impartiality" isn't the solution, it's the linchpin of the problem.
