Who has the best coverage? - Rating war

[Liberty Lover]

I was just curious as to what network you all think has the best coverage of the Liberation?

Australian stations are showing shit all but we get Skynews, CNN, MSNBC and BBC on payTV. I can generally get constant explosions and troop action if I flick through.

Liberation? Are you talking about the u$ aggression in iraq?

"I can generally get constant explosions and troop action if I flick through."

Wow! That seems fucking cool.
Cheers for imperialism! And cheers for explosions!

It sounds rather naive to expect good coverage in any war; consider the following factors: military objectives change by the day, and sometimes even by the hour, press coverage is controlled and access to military intelligence is limited, the US media is inclined to protect American interests and is therefore highly unlikely to break stories that may overwhelmingly alter public opinion (during WW2, the BBC's reports of RAF victories during the Battle of Britain were grossly inaccurate as RAF pilots blatantly inflated their kills and were not cross-examined by official investigation panels, likewise, the Luftwaffe doubled the figures of official kills and halved their number of losses. And the Russians? They were at the top of the list :) ). I tuned in to a CNN update that announced some up-to-date footage, and all I got was a forward-view of a Humvee mucking about in a sandstorm. :)

Conclusion: Don't trust everything you read. You should know better.

suffianr, I have already made up my mind regarding the morality of the war...I am now just after some action.

Morality? What made you think that I was talking about morality? I was on about journalistic trends in times of conflict. Where the hell did I mention morality?

BTW-FOX has the best coverage.
