What I never like is that the media has a dearth of correspndents over there. I remember constant images of Vietnam on television. Now you are lucky to get a live report once a week on the major networks. I can't discern the truth of what is really happening over there anymore. I agree, and I'm not sure why it's like this. Is it the administration's policies? Or the preference of the press? In any case, I've found a blog which is written by a young woman who lives in Baghdad. Her accounts of their daily life are fascinating. Here is the link, if you would like to see for yourself. riverbendblog.blogspot.com Still Standing

IF your cable or satellite package has them, check out BBC World and CNN International. The former has excellent on-the-ground news reporting and feature programs. I watched an in-depth interview with an Iraqi hospital administrator on Simpson's World the other day; another on Iraqi police recruits not long ago too. The US-focused network news and cable channels just don't have a long enough attention span to cover international stories in any depth at all. And most of their audience doesn't care - foreigners are scary weirdos who threaten America, right? ;<)
