Much more useful to educate them about what "that" is than to make hyped charges about their patriotism. I see that as "false alternatives," Karen. They will never admit to or believe the result that would come from their desired outcome, ie, that the defeat of Bush requires our defeat in Iraq. I try to stay away from Patriotic charges on them, you can't know what is in their heart, and I don't think they would ever see it as a lack of love of country. Some here do, and I get upset if they express it, because it is just venting that leads nowhere. I will continue to point up the bias when I see it. It makes it more interesting if you can follow their thought process when they report the news. I don't expect this slant of reporting to change. All you can do is allow for it and win anyway. We are winning the "hard war," and losing the "soft war," and its our own damn fault. We just don't have effective propaganda in the ME. I just posted an article by Swartz on this subject. The terrorists are backed by their Arab outlets, and the herd mentality of the western press who tend to go along with the Arab press. This has been going on for years in the Israel/Pal conflict, and we are now subject to it.
