Yet many want to see the body bags or flag draped coffins coming home. Go figure. They want to see the price of this war. And considering that many of those pictures would come from embedded reporters (and there a lot of those, including members of the Fox News staff) you may want to ask the Pentagon. Besides can you tell the difference? they stopped bodycounts for a good reason after vietnam exactly. The government/media learned a lot after Vietnam. Besides.... we should stop calling it news or media because in reality it is PR. The truth of the matter is, we shouldn't have to, or want to see so much death anywhere in the world. I think this article missed a big point. The media is getting killed over there. There are no rules in this war. The president has made that quite clear. He does not abide by the Geneva convention. So media and red cross and Korean evangelists are all targets. And what is this [ We want to see them kill the enemy ]? It just so happens we don't know who the enemy is. Is it the Shia malitia. Maybe its the Sunai malitia. Then again how about those Kurds? But of course their all influenced by Al Quada. Basically we created a Hell zone. And from what I see. It is far worse then Vietnam ever was. And if the media were to focus on the majority of killed. That would defenatly be the civilian popul... The media is NOT showing the facts as they are, and that is the problem. To watch the media, you would think that our soldiers are being killed at a far higher rate than the terrorists when the reverse is true. The media decided not to show the planes flying into the WTC anymore because that might upset us, but they will show films terrorists take sniping at our soldiers. The media should be showing the facts and only the facts, but they only show us what they want us to see in order to fit their agenda. Unfortunately that agenda fits in very closely to the agenda of the enemy. The enemy is very media-savvy for a reason. They know that is their conduit to destroy our morale. Individual reporters who are embedded may have empathy for the gun-toting guys who keep their butts from getting smoked, but as a whole the media is against the war, against any success there, and is starting to get panicked that things might actually be improving in Iraq. as a whole the media is against the war, against any success there, and is starting to get panicked that things might actually be improving in Iraq.I agree. Question? Should the news media be on anyone's "side"? Me thinks this is a case of the media not clapping hard enough, as if Judith Miller and Michael Gordon where not enough. The media is always picking sides, and it looks to me like they have chosen sides once again. So good when the where shilling for the war and now that they are not its bad. Not the side of the mission. That much is obvious. Some of these guys' reporting aligns so well with the actual words of the enemy fighters, you'd think that at certain times and locations, they might be considered eligible and vulnerable combatants who signed on with an actual side in the fight .............We.. need a precedent or judgment finding a suitable, particular reporter to be" of the same thought, word, and method as that of the enemy fighters", therefore his 'injury' or ( ) is determined to be" related to the battle field and a direct consequence and result of his own insurgent action." |
