oh my, thats pretty harsh!!!
As a small bit of evidence in favor of our news coverage, there was extensive coveraage of some bombs that missed their mark yesterday on NPR and CNN. I guess a bunch of civilians were killed when some bomnbs missed the target by some 600 ft - taking out a residential area. There was no solid reason given for the bombs failure to hit their target. This is not quite as bad as in Iraq when we hit a bomb shelter and killed 500 in one go. My only point being - I think our news tries to be somewhat accurate and does not mind publicizing bad news.
