I agree with JSAllison I have yet to read an article on politics that isn’t jaded with the reporters own opinions. Most of them can’t resist adding their own commentary,

The enemy uses propaganda during war time and we have to too. It doesn’t have to be anything untrue. I think they are educating the journalist about freedom of press.
It is true the press offers a check and balance. It is too bad that what we get for news in the US is so full of bias it is hardly pure news. Some are conservative presses and others are liberal and they have an agenda. Foor thirty years the news would show a newsreel and then a commentator would come on to tell us what to think about it. Some people have been so brainwashed by this POV news focus so long the are radically attached to one party or the other now. But this kind of news offers the US littel. This is exerbated in the blogs all over the net.

During a war that is mainly over ideology there is nothing wrong with having people that are knowledgeable of the Quran come with a panel of others to discuss points. They give reasons why they should all get along and seek peace. They, also, report the good things going on in Iraq and the area. And they should, Diyala has 320 US funded projects going on that will enhance the lives of their people. The television programs and radio are but two. When the war is over it will be handed over to private enterprise. The enemy uses propaganda to keep the extremist stirred up. That has to be counter-balanced. Eventually the people will get tired of the carnage and put a stop to it themselves. The stepped up vilocence is a direct result of watching US news and hearing from US relatives that a little more pressure and the war will end because Pelosi and Reid are fighting it. A cleric from Iraq said the battle sin’t between Sunnis and Shiite, but the foreign insurgents that come and kill both. Stopping the funding for our troops ties their hands and puts them in danger and playing chicken with their welfare is despicable. I don’t like Bush but I am with him on this. They shouldn’t be put in the middle of a power play between politicians. It is the worst kind of politics.

Doesn’t mention whether or not what is being seeded is factual or not. If it is, we could use some of that back here.

Thats station just talks about some of the better thjings going on in Iraq. tell me how its “wrong” to talk about the progress being made, and thats its “good” to have all channels constently report only the bad things, problem areas, and deaths.
far far far to many of our news stations here are complete hypocrits.

Sarge, it is a lot more complicated than that. Apply your logic to another conflict: the US participated in propaganda (including lies) during WW2; therefore, the US was not in the right and was goverened by crooks and liars. That argument doesn’t fly.

If you’re in the right, you shouldn’t have to lie.
Typical behavior for crooks and liars.

Am I the only one the gets the feeling that not only do some at the LA Times want to see the US fail in Iraq, but that they are also actively trying to bring it about?
