Making News

W
e have the election coming soon. We have the war in Iraq. We have many issues that are important. It is a difficult job to accurately report what is actually going on. This is evident when you see new stories reported with a slant as if to show proof that a certain viewpoint is developing. For example, the majority of Americans think that we are losing ground in Iraq. Does that mean that the media should only show us the negative from Iraq. Often we are shown what is "available" to be shown. Talk to a GI who has been there. I have. Ask him if the media is doing a good job. The answer is always NO! If it's true with war coverage, could it be true with EVERYTHING?
