Shooting the messenger, are we? Any particular grounds for those assumptions?
Yes, but I can't pull up the article that was posted here on it, damn it. A New York Post reporter, still "imbedded" with a scout company in Bagdad, was really savage a few days ago about the conduct of his fellow reporters in Baghdad. What I posted was a synopsis of what he thought of the way the reporters were reporting.
And I keep reading reports of email after email from officers over there who say, "Don't believe the media, the Iraqis love us."
It is very difficult to sort out what is really going on. All the press, both Foreign and Domestic, that is in Iraq, was against the war, and is looking for bad news. Remember, good news is dull, and does not sell. For example, we now know that the initial reports of the looting of the Museum were wrong.
We obviously were not prepared for the quick results, and did not expect the complete collapse of the Iraq infrastructure. So TWT. |
