If they can stop the "pighead vs. softhead" debate, that would be great.

<Journalists are giving a slanted and unduly negative account of events in Iraq>

During the Dash To Baghdad, many of us in the Peace Camp were disgusted, by the abject adulation and uncritical praise, by the media. All the awe and wonder about our StandOff HiTech NetWar, and almost no coverage of the thousands of civilians who died from not-so-precision targetting.

The non-print media (which, as far as swaying public opinion, is the only media) has no morals, no opinions, no viewpoints. They are like grass in the wind, bending and swaying with each gust.

Complaints about biased press coverage, by both the right and left, and usually a prelude to calls for "managing" or "guiding" the press.
