MSM not 'fair and balanced?' -- hmmmmm.

I'm almost to the point of believing that only uniformed Stars & Stripes reporters should be credentialed to report from Iraq.

Sort of like WWII.

Ban the rest of them from Iraq, and send 'em packing.

Your normal civilan journo seems compulsively drawn toward sedition.

Excellent article. I have it linked on my AOL instant messenger profile for all my liberal friends to read.

"While the media was busy bashing the Coalition, Muqtada's boys were kidnapping policemen, city council members and anyone else accused of supporting the Coalition or the new government, trying them in a kangaroo court based on Islamic Shari'a law, then brutally torturing and executing them for their "crimes." What the media didn't show or write about were the two hundred-plus headless bodies found in the main mosque there, or the body that was put into a bread oven and baked."

Wow, I had not heard about that.

I wonder what would happen if the Networks here in the States started to get blown up by the muslims! What kind of a tune would they play!!

Remember CNN kept silent about Saddams torture and mass graves, just for good office space in Baghdad!! I guess they were to afraid to tell the World the truth just like they are now.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

Postscript: I have had my staff aggressively pursue media coverage for all sorts of events that tell the other side of the story only to have them turned down or ignored by the press in Baghdad. Strangely, I found it much easier to lure the Arab media to a "non-lethal" event than the western outlets. Open a renovated school or a youth center and I could always count on Al-Iraqia or even Al-Jazeera to show up, but no western media ever showed up – ever. Now I did have a pretty dangerous sector, the Abu Ghuraib district that extends from western Baghdad to the outskirts of Fallujah (not including the prison), but it certainly wasn't as bad as Fallujah in November and there were reporters in there.
