MSNBC, ARNETT Complicit in Geneva Violations??
I noticed last night during the Iraqi news conference when Iraqi VP Taha Yassin Ramadan (who is responsible for the mass murder of Kurds and Shiites) boasted to Peter Arnett [now with MSNBC/Nat'l Geo] and other 'objective international journalists' that IraqiTV would soon be showing 'captured American soldiers', that NOT ONE journalist, [esp Arnett!!!] raised their voice to complain that such action and video was a gross violation of the Geneva Accords.
Therfore IMO, Arnett is also complicit in these outrageous Geneva violations against our servicemen and I have written a strongly worded letter to letters@msnbc.com to complain.

You're probably right. I don't have cable, but NBC is relying heavily on MSNBC reporters and I get the best reception for the local NBC station (assuming Fox isn't showing FNC).

It's not so much what he reports as what he doesn't report. He clearly longs to give a picture that Iraq is somehow winning against an American led coalition, and so selects little snippets to give such an impression, ignoring the overall reality. If by "Left" you mean one who identifies with a dictator who read everything by Stalin and has modeled himself upon "Uncle Joe," then I don't think reporting a la the N.Y. Times famous lickspittle for Stalin contributes much to a true picture. Falsehood does not "balance" truth, it attempts to distort it.

But Arnett's is, as far as we can see for now, only committing the same violation of that one rule. I'm confused. What rule did Arnett violate?
