There was a very interesting item last week - on the major breakfast radio show here - that discussed the glamourisation by media of wounded soldiers. Proper grown up discussion of the concerns and issues, etc.
You’re talking about an internal, subjective, mental process. You think a unbiased journalist should report on that by observing and guessing, instead of asking the people involved what they think?
How, by hacking the defense.gov site? Altering the story before it’s published? Threatening the writer’s life? How do you argue against a writer’s story as he’s writing it? By this logic, Common Sense wasn’t an argument either, since no one argued against Paine in the text.
Well, at least you’re finally understanding what propaganda is!
I would welcome more coverage of the entire subject of the war in Afghanistan, good and bad. How about that?
Me too! That is the underlying point of this thread. Millions of Afghan parents oppose the Taliban ban of girls attending schools. It is major good news and should be covered in a fair and balanced way as good news along with the certain continuation of bad news that is being covered on a daily basis as it happens.
Thanks for your support.
No, you don’t have my support, and no that isn’t your underlying point. You want “good news” reported, not bad. IOW, you want propaganda. It’s obvious that you omitted my comment about propaganda on purpose.
That is false. Where have I written that bad news out of Afghanistan should not be reported?
