Look, I trust the media. I see that they're trying to influence me, and might gloss things over a bit, but that doesn't mean they're *always* wrong. Just like they're not *always* right.
I look up multiple sources, and generally try to find some background news. Of course, my good memory also helps a lot. I don't expect the media to be unbiased, just as I don't expect *anyone* to be unbiased. We're only humans, after all.
By the way... suppose that picture was indeed photoshopped, as it appears to have been. Does that change the reality? The Iraqi guy was coming towards the soldier looking for help. The photoshoppers merely accentuated the message, to make it look prettier.
