MSM willing to re-discover Iraq?
Topics: IraqArthur Chrenkoff writes that "Wonders never cease - the mainstream media, or the Associated Press to be exact, is having a rethink about its reporting from Iraq - as reported by "The New York Times.""
Apparently it all started when Rosemary Goudreau, the editorial page editor of "The Tampa Tribune", received an email that many of you would be familiar with, listing in a "Did you know?" format all the under-reported achievement in Iraq and ending with this sentence: "Of course we didn't know! Our media doesn't tell us!"
This promoted Ms. Goudreau to ask some questions of the AP, which supplies most of the international news for her's and many other newspapers. You'll be glad to know that some changes are underway at the AP as a result of her inquiry. It looks like we may find some reporters getting out of their rooms to do some actual reporting, which may help the public find out more about the good things that are happening. Now if we could only find some way to get them to weed out their political bias, we might have some actual truth coming out of Iraq via the MSM.
