Stop us before we spread more Taliban propaganda. ABC News regularly runs Al-Jazeera video of supposedly U.S.-caused civilian casualties in Afghanistan, airing it more often by my observation than either CBS or NBC, but it’s not their fault Cokie Roberts suggested on Sunday. She blamed the spreading of the video images, which so help the Taliban cause, on the lack of access U.S. journalists are allowed by the Pentagon. ABC’s This Week opened on October 28 with Al-Jazeera video of injured Afghan kids as Sam Donaldson passed along how the Taliban claims ten civilians were killed in the particular U.S. bombing. A few minutes later, wrapping up an interview with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Roberts argued: "There’s some sense that we’re losing the propaganda war and those pictures we saw of those children at the beginning of the program have taken the place in our minds of the picture of the World Trade Center being blown up. Why not allow more press access so that the United States press can show pictures that fight the Arab press?" mediaresearch.org
