Iraq: The unseen war

[ziggytrix]

None taken. I wasn't meaning to lecture you. Just reiterating for the umpteenth time that our media is more horseshit than not.

But that's not what this gallery is about. It was about not painting the rosiest possible scenario and only forwarding heart-warming powerpoints of American soldiers giving Iraqi chilren cute little puppies, and how maybe we need to see the bad parts, too.

I agree with you that the media does a poor job of picking up these lovey-dovey powerpoint emails, but until they are willing to show children injured from "collateral damage", they have no business showing the soldiers playing handing out footballs to children (guess which one I've actually seen on CNN and win a cookie!).

Furthermore, if our government were to attempt to suppress either image (thought I cannot fathom why they would suppress the heartwarming stuff, hell I'm sure they are the main source of it) that would be a bad thing (tm) too, in my opinion.
