Will Someone Please Give Me The Story?

The War In Iraq has really become the War in America's Propagandist Media.


CNN and Fox News are doing their best to show me two extreme ideologies that are bad for America.


Let's start with CNN. Today's big story on their Inernational page is the battle in Baghdad's Sadr City. They talk about how a U.S. airstrike killed 10 and injured 17. Of course it implies later that those killed were terrorists because the bombing was a precision bombing and no civilians were killed. But the wording is so skewed that I almost feel as though they are making the military look like they are just in Iraq killing civilians for fun.


Then we have Fox. They don't even report this strike on their site, but they do post this story on a suicide bomber killing 4 in Mosul, a story CNN must have missed.
This is rediculous. Both sides completely leaving out stories that matter, and when they find an issue they like, they are quick to change it around so that it matches their ideology.
