Whose Side Is The Press On? They like to say "Neither, just reporting the facts"... but they distort them to go against the USA.

Good find and thanks for posting it:

The media is only worried about sensational headlines. I was watching CNN this a.m. and the press was interviewing an Iraqi Dr. that has been treating the wounded. They asked the Dr. "what he thought" of this war and the promise of the USA. He did not know what to think and he did not believe anything he heard. Then in came a marine coreman and aked the Dr to have his patiants get ready for transfer to a hospital in Kuwait. The Dr. was in shock, holding back tears he started to say thank you, and they cut him off!

Good post! When I finally recognized the media bias many years ago, I swore I would not subscribe to a newspaper again and, 15 years later, I have still kept my vow. I'm so thankful for more evenly balanced reporting from more conservative sources such as Drudge and Worldnetdaily. Newsmax is decent albeit they slant heavily the other way (which is preferable to the leftist slant).

I would like to second that! It's amazing to watch Fox News and then flip over to the other stations. Makes me wonder if their talking about the same war! Thank God for Fox!

Noticed this morning that NBC is posting the body count for the US and Britain. Shades of Nam. Stay tuned to Fox for our side of the war.

Except for FOX, the media is essentially collaborating with Saddam.

"Except for FOX, the media is essentially collaborating with Saddam."
I couldn't agree more.

Since I started watching only FOX news, I've been sleeping better. But why the hell do so many Freepers post crap from the Arab newspapers about the USA losing the war? I swear if that keeps up, I'm going to erase my bookmark.
To: Stand Watch Listen
Has anyone noticed how many of the reporters refer to the US Military as 'they.' Isn't 'they' us? And if 'us' is 'they;' who are the people who are reporting the news?
I think this war has really taken off the cover to reveal exactly where everyone stands, and it is telling to me to see how so many of the press are standing on the wrong side of the line.

Some of these media outlets just don't like to face the truth, do they?

One of the biggest problems is the element of propaganda in all news reports. One of the biggest problems is the embedded journalists. Combat has always been a perfect example of organized confusion. This is due to disorganized actions on the opposing side. The journalists observing this have the tendency to believe everybody is incompetent.

Vietnam established quite clearly that patriotism has no place in polite media culture. Journalism is the profession of using the PR power of high-speed printing, radio, and TV for commercial profit. One of the central tenents of that profession is to avoid flame wars with your competitors. Journalists are conformists.
Free from this distasteful notion, the press can remain "impartial" in a struggle between our democratic republic, and a brutal dictatorship. They can be "unbiased" when considering the positions of those who willfully destroy innocent life and those who incur expense and accept risks to spare it. And they can sap morale with misleading and nonsensical reporting weakening our ability to fight, without regard for the danger it brings. They do it because it is profitable--and they enter the business only because they are willing, nay eager, to profit in that way.

I can bet that it isn't our side. Anything to defeat America. Someday their spitefulness is going to rise up and hit them right square in the face.

Maybe a few Americans will wake up to the propaganda which is obvious with the Arabs and more subtle with our media.
As nicmarlo pointed out on another thread, Bush and the war are beating the left down. They are losing on many fronts and they don't like it.
Listening to the press ask Rumsfield questions is enough to make you sick. I wish Bush or Rumsfield would call them out for what they obviously are!
