Also the other British media isn't any better. I watched the report where the ITN report refers to the coalition forces as "invaders". I expect this from the Arab and French media but would expect better from the British media. Here is the report from John Irvine the ITN reporter in Baghdad. Where the slant towards the Iraqi's seems pretty evident to me. "In the skies above Baghdad, A-10 jets provided cover for the Americans on the ground. The Iraqis did manage to fire on the invaders and we saw them hit the Bradleys, but as far as we could tell the ammunition bounced off." "The Americans who advanced along the river directed heavy machine gun fire at Iraqi emplacements across the Tigris. As the gunfire set a fuel store ablaze, several Iraqi soldiers jumped into the water to save themselves. The last man barely made it." msnbc.com
