The Media
Friday. 12.31.04 11:33 am
Jeez it's been a long time-I hardly recognize the place !!! The reason I came back to "visit" is, frankly, I'm pissed! (of course, that's why I came here in the first place, to piss and moan!) What am I so upset about? I'm glad you asked! I have made it a habit to read blogs posted both by our soldiers in Iraq, but also those posted by Iraqi's, too. http://www.adayiniraq.com/, http://iraq-iraqis.blogspot.com/ are a couple that I read frequently, and link from. What is bothering me is that the Western Media is having a negative effect on Iraqi nationals from what I am reading, and what they ate reporting is reinforcing the resentments many Iraq's have for Americans as a whole. Case in point: The Media has been saying that the huge bombing in Baghdad last week that killed at least 30 people, wounded many more, and damaged or destroyed at least 12 houses, was really planned by insurgents to lure Iraqi forces there and ambush them with the insurgents themselves making the phone call, when in reality it was dutiful neighbors, who noticed a foreigner who rented a house in the neighborhood, and who had many other foreign-looking men coming and going at all hours, carrying in large bags and leaving empty-handed. I just feel like this is the more important story, that Iraqi's are making choices-having to make choices- about how they want to live, who they want to represent them. I guess wishing The Media would be as objective as they claim to be (No-Spin zone, my ass !!!) and report just the facts at all costs is just a pipe dream...but in this case the truth would have been so much more beneficial, and the assumptions that were made (in my opinion, with purpose) did so much more damage than good...it saddens me...

Why would the Media tell the truth?
Like in tons of books, and lots of movies, the Media tells what sells; what people want to hear. A story that will get people's attention.
It's been said somewhere that people will believe what they can see, and what they read in the newspaper [or, in our high-tech age, the media in general].
The Media is so twisted... they've brainwashed us all......

Have a good new Year!
