Nedia Bias
Conservative Thoughts ^ | October 17, 2005 | John Kuethe

Posted on 10/17/2005 7:12:48 AM PDT by Wrangler22

Readers of this blog and my site Conservative Thoughts are well aware that I think that the MSM has given us a biased view of the Iraq War that is tilted to support their liberal agenda. In a never ending effort to counter this I have brought you the stories the MSM often ignores so that you are aware of the success that we are having in Iraq and the Global War on Terror.

Today the Media Research center has a piece called


TOPICS: Local News; Military/Veterans; Politics
KEYWORDS: bias; iraq; media; nedia; war

I have a bad case of the fat fingers. here is the link I was trying to post on Media bias:

http://www.mrc.org/SpecialReports/2005/sum/sum101405.asp

TV’s Bad News Brigade
ABC, CBS and NBC’s Defeatist Coverage of the War in Iraq

In it they delve into a statistical analysis of the Media Bias on the coverage of the war, and break it down in a clear and concise way:

Ever since the United States and an international coalition toppled Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship in the spring of 2003, the Iraq war has dominated network newscasts. Since then, there’s been a lot of undeniably bad news, as terrorists have launched a savage campaign to thwart efforts to establish democracy in a major Arab state. But are network reporters giving the public an inordinately gloomy portrait of the situation, as some critics charge? Are the positive accomplishments of U.S. soldiers and Iraq’s new democratic leaders being lost in a news agenda dominated by assassinations, car bombings and casualty reports?
The answer to both questions is: Yes.
Don’t take my word for it, read the whole story and comment.

Even our soldiers see the media bias in IRAQ:

They Call Us, "Doc" (scroll down to "Speaking with President Bush"

The interview went well, but I would like to respond to what most of the mass-media has dubbed as, "A Staged Event."
First of all, we were told that we would be speaking with the President of the United States, our Commander-in-Chief, President Bush, so I believe that it would have been totally irresponsible for us NOT to prepare some ideas, facts or comments that we wanted to share with the President.
We were given an idea as to what topics he may discuss with us, but it's the President of the United States; He will choose which way his conversation with us may go.
We practiced passing the microphone around to one another, so we wouldn't choke someone on live TV. We had an idea as to who we thought should answer what types of questions, unless President Bush called on one of us specifically.

President Bush told us, during his closing, that the American people were behind us. I know that we are fighting here, not only to preserve our own freedoms, but to establish those same freedoms for the people of Iraq. It makes my stomach ache to think that we are helping to preserve free speech in the US, while the media uses that freedom to try to RIP DOWN the President and our morale, as US Soldiers. They seem to be enjoying the fact that they are tearing the country apart. Worthless!
The question I was most asked while I was home on leave in June was, "So...What's REALLY going on over there?" Does that not tell you something?! Who has confidence in the media to tell the WHOLE STORY? It's like they WANT this to turn into another Vietnam. I hate to break it to them, but it's not.

Tomorrow morning, the Iraqi people will vote on their constitution. The success of our mission or the mission of the Iraqi security forces is not defined by the outcome of that vote. If the people of Iraq vote this constitution down, that only means that the FREE, DEMOCRATIC PROCESS is at work in Iraq. They are learning to voice their opinions in the polling stations, not through violence. If it is voted down, they will have the chance to draft an even better version; One that may better serve the people of Iraq. This is up to them. It is history in the making and I will not let the media or anyone else (who has not spent more than two weeks here) tell me otherwise. I have been here for almost a year. I have seen the progress made in so many ways from January's elections to this referendum. Don't tell me what the Iraqi people can or can't do. They will tell you with their VOTES!
