Who do we believe anymore? Now we have media people covering stories about media people. Where else are we going to get our 'news'? It's the very definition of a conundrum. I feel for the journalists out there. They have a tough job. Report what happens. Try to be objective. Tell the truth. I don't think it always works out that way. The White House has been complaining recently about the media through some back channels. (even through some front channels). It may come across as sour grapes when the truth of the matter is there are multiple troubles in Iraq. However, according to the Pew report out yesterday, the Bushies may have a leg to stand on with this one. The percentage of confessed Liberals in our nations media is at an all time high and had a large increase in the past year.
There are some good things happening in Iraq right now. We just don't hear a lot about it. What percentage of the news is made up of the good vs. the bad when it comes to Iraq? I did a very informal study on MSNBC.com. I searched under 'Iraq' and looked briefly at the headlines of the top 100 results. There were over 6100 Iraq related results on MSNBC alone by the way. My informal results showed only 5 stories out of 100 that were about anything remotely positive. 95% of our news is focusing on the negatives coming out of Iraq right now. Gee, I wonder why the national perception on Iraq is of doom and gloom?
Does anyone know of a news outlet that only focuses on good things? Not just about Iraq but the good about everything in general. I would love to know of it because sometimes, even though I know there are bad things happening in the world, I only want to know about the good. Just sometimes, not all the time.
