While a few thousand protest, hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world peacefully support the US and against bin Laden and Taliban. Yet, news coverage is of marching in the streets, American flags being burned. ABSOLUTELY MISLEADING, DISPROPORTIONATE NEWS COVERAGE. We usually slough it off, because we expect it and usually media distortions are harmless. But now, with the Muslim world being called to war, its crucial for the media to "grow up" and to responsibly put these relatively small protests into perspective. In other words, report fairly and accurately and not create. They forget that potential militants are watching the tube, and might get the wrong impression that there's a lot more popular support than there really is.
