What do you think of the coverage of Iraq on TV?

I've been almost two years without television, except for what I see at the homes of friends now and then. Are TV news correspondents keeping you abreast of the developments? Is their product worth watching? What's good and what's bad? (And what's ugly.)

than what's going on in Iraq.

is infinitely more superior than the dogpiles we get that wouldn't feed a mayfly.

at WAr? damn, i didn't know that...with all the talk of jessica simpson and her man breaking up, and tom cruise and katie holmes, and worthless paris hilton i thought our country was all ready over that little scuffle in Iraq :sarcasm:

Man, there is hardly any coverage....some, very little though...its sad when all the other nonsense takes precedent...

If it ain't on TV, it didn't happen.

And that is true in today's world. TV is the medium by which many if not most get their information in today's world. The internet is next, and radio and print media follow.

I encourage you to watch TV because doing so keeps you informed. How can you know what the trends are if you don't watch them? Reading cannot convey the images and thoughts transferred daily on TV.

I watch Fox News to get the talking points right next to the source, not because I think their coverage is good. I watch Russert to see what MSM are saying. I watch all these news people, all of whose biases I understand, and judge the impact on the public.

How can I know what the public is thinking if I don't watch what they watch? I can watch things I don't like. I watch every speech Bush gives, start to finish, live if possible, no matter how boring or repetitive. Why? It's how I monitor his state of mind, direction, and steadiness.

For 500 channels of absolute crap. I can get video online when I need it. And I'm no longer supporting our corporate media, except through my ISP.

Oh puleeze...There are so many more top stories. Missing in Aruba. Paris Hilton. Oprah's 20th anniversary. The Country Music awards. Nick, Jessica, Brittney, Lindsay, etal. NASCAR. Wrestling. People's "Sexiest Man Alive" poll. Feisty Chihuahua pilots plane in dramatic crash landing. Living baby Tyrannosaurus Rex found in Walmart storeroom. Iraq is imploding and our country hasn't been so bitterly divided since the Civil War --- but first things first.

American reporters remain within the confines of the Green Zone and their heavily fortified hotels, they have become nothing more than stenographers for the Pentagon's PR machine.

Paul Bremer kicked Al-Jazeera out of Iraq in order to prevent coverage of news not previously vetted by the Pentagon. The end result is that the American public's opinion on Iraq was shaped by biased and skewed coverage of our corporate news media.
