"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news Qb9d.138603$wV.119360@attbi_s54...CNN, PBS and the Broadcast Alphabet news have a bias in their news reporting itself. That bias is not so much by reporting untruth but by their choice of what IS news. A perfect example: Yesterday, a new report on WMD in Iraq was released. In it, they reported finding no WMD -- but NPR reported that they DID find evidence of intent to build WMD when sanctions were lifted. The author of the report stressed that Saddam had every intention of building WMD the moment inspectors left -- which would have happened in the absence of pressure from the U.S.. This is the actual language from the actual report (I got it from the BBC, but the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times also had it): "There is an extensive, yet fragmentary and circumstantial body of evidence suggesting that Saddam pursued a strategy to maintain a capability to return to WMD after sanctions were lifted... " Perhaps "fragmentary," "circumstantial" and :suggesting" don't quite add up to a done deal. Henry |
