No liberal media?

I think what he meant was as far as the war was concerned, we are getting a very one-sided, filtered view of what's going on over there.

Its all about ratings. And no one wants to bite the hand that's feeding them content for fear they will not be able to attract viewers and the advertising dollars that comes with increased viewership.

This is all about viewership too:

There's absolutely no reason for those outside of Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia to believe that its in there self-interest for America to win this war.

So the Arab media preys on this disbelief.
