You are right about CNN, MSNBC wanting to be "world" TV, but they can't quite pull it off.

I disagree with you about the desirability of this. I think it's the JOB of the media to try to find a neutral vantage point, to the extent possible.

The media doesn't need to provide government spin. Let the government do its own spinning.

MSNBC has Bob Arnot on Live right now. I'm sorry, I'm a channel jumper ...

"I think it's the JOB of the media to try to find a neutral vantage point, to the extent possible.

I suppose a "neutral vantage point" would equate Saddam with Bush, and US/British forces with Iraqis, and any imported jihadis that enter the fray.

Similarly, such neutrality would equate the version of events put forth by Coalition Hq. in Qatar, with the Iraqi Minister of Information.

Neutrality fails to make any judgement, as to moral issues, and as to what is true, and what is false.

I have no problem drawing moral distinctions, and the truth should take precedence over the false.

Any media which fails to make moral judgements, and to search for truth is just propoganda.
