So we are to listen to the media only if it reports what we want to hear? Or are we to emulate Bush, who nurses an aversion to reading and says he takes his news from "more objective sources" than the media - his aides?

Note that the paper from which I quoted is International Herald Tribune, not Al-Jazeera. You will find it hard to argue that they would have made up the story that villagers said they were happy US soldiers had died.

Selectric, what was the "media's agenda" when the print media in the US failed to report Powell cited plagerized material during his presentation to the UN? And what was the "media's agenda" when all of the US media failed to report at all that the US got caught spying on the homes and offices of members of the UN Security Council during the war resolution debates?

I really would like a plausible answer to this question from someone. Anyone.
