Dan,

Nice to see some one understands the meaning of "biased news coverage."
John thinks it means untruthful when it actually means one-sided.

You forgot to mention the Baghdad Terrorist Times - sure to give you as
unbiased reporting as the other 3 mentioned.

And why is it that reports from the troops in Iraq suggest that
the
public is not seeing anything close to the whole picture of what
is
taking place there?


Because reporting the whole picture of what is taking place there
would
would make it harder to oust Bush next November. US mainstream
media
isn't
going to do anything like that.




So you want to know what is really going on?

Here's the full skinny--from the average Iraqi point of view.

There is 70% unemployment

There is a shortage of gasoline

There is a shortage of benzene to provide heat as winter approaches.

electricity is on infrequently both day and night.

fresh water is in short supply

crime is rampant--car jacking is on the rise

woman are afraid to go out at night

You had better not be around when anyone starts shooting at the
Americans--the Americans are shooting 360 degrees at anything.

I guess, other than that, everything is OK.

Electricity and water supplies were short before the war and getting worse
bcause the systems were not getting repaired with the food-for-oil money
Saddam
was building palaces with.

Gasoline would be in better supply if the bad guys weren't disrupting the
flow.

Want to continue?

Well, good old JACK.S:

How about pointing out the items which you know are incorrect?

You condemn the best newspapers in the country for being biased. So if
any of the newspapers made any of the above statements it would not be
true because they have a biased outlook. Is that correct?

You are one ignorant *******.

The papers in question have repeatedly pointed out the problems without
explaining things were either worse or just as bad when Saddam was running
things.

If you wish to debate like an adult stop with the name calling.
