Perspective

While I still tend to trust the actual news coverage coming from MSNBC and FNC more than what’s coming from, say, Al Jazeera, let’s not anyone be fooled by the overall “neutrality” of US coverage.

All you need to do is sit through one of the little montage vignettes, set to determined and epic music, of, for example, Bush talking about how the day of reckoning is coming for the Iraqi regime, and see that we’re not talking about neutral third parties. If Al Jazeera were airing little snippets like that of Saddam Hussein, folks would be suggesting we bomb their offices.

We can do without the implicit editorializing, folks.

Feh.
