Default Re: I have a question

I'm still rather bothered by the whole situation in the states.

It just doesn't feel like a democracy. It feels more like a dictatorship dressed up in democracy's clothing.

But that's just how it seems to me.

And I'm bothered how most people have forgotten about what's going on in the Middle East. I saw some war journal videos and was rather disturbed. There's too much censorship in the news. We don't know about half of what's gonig on there. I guess everyone is too busy caring about the Michael Jackson trial.

I have to disagree with you respectfully. In no way is the news too censored. I frankly believe that the news shows too much. Of course people will want to see whats happening, but I think it's bad to have the news show everything, especially since it's a broadcast channel. I liked it better when the news was strictly behind lines and was filled in by the Centcom.

The media exposes too much information..... I loved it on New Years 2003-2004 when the reporters told TV audiences the police had snipers on the rooftops to ensure safety, and the reporter actually showed footage of where the snipers were. I got pissed when the media gave away our actual security measures.........

To be honest I don't even think the "general" people even care about Iraq right now. Not from what I've been able to tell anyway. I think the "caring about Iraq" thing had it's peak just prior to the elections (when Iraq was important, of course). Now with them over, I guess people don't want to pay attention much.

And the media has always had it's tricks up it's sleeve, by either telling too much, not telling enough, or exaggerating things. It sucks.
