What you're not hearing about.

Demand coverage in the media of the ravages of war. Even if you're pro,
we all need to face the reality of what war is. They WILL listen to us
if we ALL speak out:

It is not entirely true that the media is not covering civilian
suffering.
Go to nytimes.com: granted that its not on the front page-there are
PLENTY of photos of injured and starving Iraqi children (some of them
are photos of soldiers giving children urgently needed supplies). In
one of the photos the caption actually states that a child was injured
from U.S. led attacks.
If you want to see the truth you just can't rely on the right-wing
FOX, NBC, and CNN coverage. I think the nytimes does a half way
decent job.

The best onion I've seen in a long time:

www.theonion.com

The New York times has some good coverage... and sometimes it also does some
good to go outside the borders of the US too... lots more pictures of dead
people (military & civilian alike) at http://www.arabnews.com, an
English-language newspaper in Saudi Arabia. Bear in mind it's biased in its
own way (since the KSA is an absolute monarchy and censorship is pervasive)
but it's still enlightening to see war coverage from a different angle.

Depending on whom you ask, I suppose there's less carnage in the US news
because either a)news media are too worried about offending people in any
way or b)they are getting direct orders from the US Government not to show
these images. Notice the contrast in how this war is covered from, say, TV
coverage of Vietnam, or going back even further, to the public exhibitions
of Matthew Brady's Civil War photographs (including Union & Confederate
dead) in the 1860s. In the words of Robert E. Lee: "It is well that war is
so terrible: we would grow too fond of it."

I watched an independent news channel last night in which the
anchorwomen rattled off an amazing amount of anti-american stories.
Where did she get her information? Suprisingly , most of it came from
the Washington Post!
