the liberal media is digging in like the republican guard, you won't hear any of these stories. on the flip side, the pentagon briefing should be used as a forum to push these stories, so they cannot be ignored.

My poor husband is surrounded by shipmates who only watch CNN at work...we keep it on Fox News here of course *s*

Hey, the UN is even jumping on us. As soon as we liberated Bagland they complained we were letting the hospitals get looted.........nothing about the ammo, torture chambers, murders and minor atrocities the Iraqis performed in those hospitals that we stopped. Why couldn't they be quick on the draw for something useful?

They've started pushing certain angles in the briefings. Showing videos of humanitarian aid. Telling stories of atrocities and such.

I was very gratified to see the two minute video production MSNBC came up with yesterday in honor of yesterday's events. They even titled it "Beautiful Day" and it was so well done. Rumsfeld gave an excellent statement yesterday to open the briefing. It was like a speech and included a quote from George Washington. Well, MSNBC incorporated his voice, as well as others like Dick Cheney, into this video piece.

I do think they are savvy in this area. I also think they'll gauge what points to push if they see it isn't getting attention or is being distorted (which happens all the time). So, I do not think they'll let facts get buried, and we have not heard the last of that.
