Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
The DOD has pictures I am sure they would be happy to share....Individual soldiers have sent them in emails,too. I suppose using a government source is bad?..
Bet Gary Senise's Iraqi Children org has some..There are pictures of soldiers passing out school supplies. There are pictures of medical clinics for civilians...I see them here frequently.
Good article snippet -- but I wish I didn't have to register to read the rest.
From the article "This is not necessarily an issue of media bias." I have to emphatically disagree with this statement.
What if Al Gore had been elected,(huge shudder) or what if we had a democrat president? Do you think the U. S. press would spend much time on a story such as this?
They are committed to publishing reports from Iraq that show the bad news.
Pure bullshit! Who doubts for an instant that the most powerful media mongouls wouldn't risk their own Mother's, in an effort to film anything at all negative about our troops and their mission in Iraq?
Can I see a showing of hands?.......ER, ....what comes before one?
This editorial to me seems to be a sort of a "get off our back" kind of article. They'll be back to reporting the bad stuff tomorrow, afterall, bad news is good news for the Democrats.
It could show up in the mainstream media, it just needs the right caption. How about "American soldier steals Iraqi school supplies. As usual, the children suffer..."
I've heard that U.S. reporters stay holed up in their Baghdad hotels most of the time while Arab stringers get the pics and interviews, naturally with an anti-American slant, which thrills the reporters and editors.
I'll bet FR's Diogenesis could find PLENTY to share with them...
