I understand that breaking news is largely driven by bad news.

That isn't it at all. The media bent over backward to make clinton look good in his various war crimes and fiascos. They still haven't told the truth about Kosovo.

The media are the enemy because they are the enemy--because they are full of left-wing liars who deliberately twist the news.

He says "daily casualties", but there have been only 86 deaths since May 1, and that was 150 days ago.

"I understand that breaking news is largely driven by bad news. That's a structural defect of a free press," said L. Paul Bremer, the American administrator in Iraq, at a House Armed Services Committee Hearing Thursday.

It is not a free press. It is a propaganda monopoly that is starting to crumble.

We get hours every day of the Laci Peterson case, but nobody can find time to report the full story in Iraq.

But, I really don't see why the administration doesn't send all the Cabinet members and other VIP's out to the Sunday talk shows to just harp on all the good things that are going on in Iraq. Week after week. Regardless of what the media's talking heads want to ask them, they can just ignore the questions and go on and on about the positives in Iraq - I've never seen a politician answer the question they were asked anyway, so it certainly wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

I sincerely hope this was an "opinion" piece. If not, and is being reported as "news," this "reporter" should be fired ASAP.
