Last week Hertoghe said that his "problem" was not "anyone's opinion on the war, but that there were no diverse and opposing views on its legitimacy. Readers were not offered a debate." . "What bothered me more," he continued, "was that reporting, when it was uncertain what was going on, fell into predictions of disaster because there were so many who wanted for everything to go wrong. As soon as there were problems on the ground for the United States, it was Vietnam." . Hertoghe said newspapers ignored reports from journalists traveling with U.S. forces, including those from Agence France-Presse, when they did not indicate insurmountable difficulties. . "The papers wanted disaster, and when the reporting didn't reflect it, they predicted it," he said. Interesting... Maybe that's why 33% of the French population was rooting for Saddam.. And this is what they call "news"?? Hawk
