why is pro-bush administration journalism not equally tarred with the accusation of "having an agenda"?
why is the refusal to show civilisan casualties, to make more "real" the debacle that is this war, not also part of an "agenda"?
what is the real problem here? that the administration cannot dictate to all media outlets, all over the world, how they should cover this war?
how is covering the demands of groups that take hostages not part of a journalist's function?
would you really prefer that they get no coverage, and that the hostages die in silence?
what would the point of this be?
therapy for american television viewers at home?
it certainly would have nothing to do with what is going on on the ground....
