My mom doesn't like the news channels.
And I'm with her.
She says that they absolutely blew the Iraq thing totally out of porportions.
They made it seem that everyone in Iraq hates americans.
Yet, she has seen MANY online blogs by soldiers of the army that state quite plainly... Many of them think we're heroes!
The news only says that because they're focusing on the attacks and bombings.
Anything for ratings.
And a lot of people are BUYING THIS. Because they do not check their sources!
My mom ALWAYS does a google search with big news. She checks her sources.
Anyway... The only reason she tuned in for the bombings was because someone posted it on the World of Warcraft forums.
At some point, on one of the news channels, which were reporting this terrorist attack, the newscaster woman said "We have some great pictures to show you!"
With a SMILE ON HER FACE.
That's darn near close to saying "We have some awesome pictures to show you of people with serious injuries being driven off in an ambulence!
"
Sure, she might have not meant it like that, but dang it, you do not SMILE about pictures of terrorist attack scenes!
Anyway... My 2 cents. Take it or leave it.
