ABC Wants to Know

Why do American's think the Old Media is bias and out of touch on its Iraq coverage? Here's your chance to let them know. ABC wants to hear from you via their online message board. I tried logging on but couldn't get in for some reason (you think they know about me and this blog???), anyway, here are my thoughts on the subject:

Yes, report the bad news, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of positive spin or even propaganda when it may encourage our troops or average Americans. Just look to the hey-day of news reporting during WW 2 when journalists like Edward R Murrow and Walter Cronkite were saying things like "England can take it" as they endured a merciless bombing campaign of their own, even as politicians like Joseph Kennedy ( father of John and Teddy) were saying Britain was finished and we should negotiate with Hitler. The bravery of US and Iraqi soldiers are clearly evident for everyone except the media. Life goes on in spite of the bombings and violence. After 3 years we are still there in spite of your doom and gloom coverage and liberal politicians obsessed with body counts. This is how you tell the news, don't lie, but always look toward the future and hope.
