Yeah, but the American news outlets invade the privacy of others all the time. Sorry Ronnie, the fact that the tape was released by the Iraqi government made it news.

Give one example where they were cheering and not reporting.

You can't therefore you lose.

You points are weak and unjustified.
Not cheering literally, you ass. Their reporting was completely one sided. There was one interview in the first few days of the war with a guy embedded with a tank squadron/platoon/brigade/whatever that focused more on how much fun it was to drive really fast in a Humvee and how morale was high among the soldiers, rather than what was going on in their surroundings. This was on CNN, and I saw it with my own eyes.

Bottom line, most of the reporters were more concerned with talking about how things were going with the soldiers and themselves ("Uhh... I had to put on a gas mask again today... then we hid in a bunker for a few hours. It was... uh... hot." -- I shit you not, I heard practically those exact words from one reporter) rather than how things were going in Iraq.

EDIT: I won't show any respect to fools who want to sit in the line of fire and film it. I will, however, show a little bit of sympathy for the ones killed by American fire.
