My AOL buttetin board Post:
Notice even the AOL headline: "Iraqi security personnel patrolled the streets, and U.S. troops searched for weapons Sunday after an apparent victory."
Notice the use of "apparent victory". The media is still letting their political views govern how they report their version of the news. The majority of the news being reported in Iraq today, as during Vietnam is about body counts. Happily, the VC/NVA did not have hand video cams then as the terrorists do today, or America would have been shown daily video of the VC/NVA safely walking their streets around that country, as the Media implies with their showing video tapes today of the "Reality " of Iraq, of all of the terrorists walking the streets with their shouldered RPGs, and AK-47s, received from both the terrorists and or supporters. I feel it should be required that any video tape shown on the news should be labeled as to its origin throughout its use, and just instantaneous placing some Arab news service logo at the beginning is not ensuring Truth in Advertising, since really, this is advertising, used to try to influence another's thinking or perception of something.
For the another side of the News click this link:

Why is only maybe 5% of the time now and less before, is this side given?
As an aside: There was a topic the other day on these boards suggesting the boycotting of entertainers who support the North East Liberal John Kerry. My suggestion is that the boycott be expanded to include TWX/aol, since they apparently are donating advertising to the John Kerry campaign...
