Guardian WatchBlog

I have been getting the urge lately to weigh in on the mideastern war. While gathering my thoughts for that post, I ran across this article in Guardian WatchBlog about the way “the media” is reporting on stuff going on in Iraq. From the article:
During the actual Iraq war itself, the “mainstream” media was quite fair in its coverage. It could hardly be otherwise, with reporters taking the field alongside the soldiers themselves. The talking heads on the home front started using the “Q-word” and making Vietnam comparisons before even a week had passed, but their dour outlook was negated by reports from their own embedded colleagues.
I rather think that this is a fair statement, but YMMV. The whole article provides a needed counterbalance to The Guardian’s point of view.
