I can't believe I've never seen Lara Logan before; smart, committed, and very, very hot. She's right about sanitizing the war though--just compare the coverage of Iraq to the coverage of Vietnam. You're not going to see any screaming napalmed children on the news these days.

Americans don't want accurate and realistic journalism, they want feel-good patriotism. That's why most of them watch FOX. I'm afraid that the problem is the naive and badly educated American public. Most of the people in these comments don't even know what liberal means. If you think your media is liberal you are utterly clueless, even by your hilariously pathetic definition of the word.

I want to hate this woman so bad for shacking up with that contractor mercenary fuckhead, but she really is just such an amazing journalist that it's impossible to stay mad at her. She does great work. Much props.

Isn't that funny how the FOX network tried to claim Barack Obama is communist or socialist and he would silence free speech and other freedoms, Meanwhile the Bush administration(silenced media) and Fox news never speak about the terrible things America faces,(war,debt,healthcare,unemployment) Very hypocritical.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Plus CONUS is in your vernacular... this one I like. Keep keepin' it real, brother.
By: BigBananaMan. on 15 Dec 08, 15:40:04
Poor security situation prevents them from covering anything positive? I suppose that's why they only cover armored car robberies, police chases, and murder in CONUS too huh. America has such a bad security problem that the news can't possibly get out to cover medical research or legitimate politics. When it comes down to it a news corporation is just that, a corporation. It's sole purpose is to make money for it's stockholders so of course something that will draw viewers is more "newsworthy"

...Which is much better than having no other options besides uber-liberal mega-collectivist TV news media. So now, yes bias is good, because nobody incorrectly pretends to be objective observers anymore, and because the internet will completely take over news media some day soon. Spiffy'd up versions of Conservative Punk, Hot Air, and BlackFive will square off against spiffy'd up versions of the Kos, Democratic Underground, and Think Progress, and in all the chaos someone will get informed.
By: Vet223. on 15 Dec 08, 06:31:13
...You see before FOX came around the bias was still there, I saw it every day and it made me want to puke. Internet news was practically non-existent back then as well, I was horrified by where we must be headed being lied to like that. Since FOX, 'opining' is a major part of news media instead of interjecting your politics an actual story or piece of 'news', and each has hired idiot demagogues that make it painfully obvious whether your watching a liberal channel or a conservative one...
By: Vet223. on 15 Dec 08, 06:24:31
Compared to TV and print, yes. In fact someone like myself (not actually conservative but more like the actual definition of 'classic liberalism') probably can't stomach most things that aren't on the internet. And it's not just non-news TV, it's news TV as well that has an observable liberal bias. You can trash FOX all you want (I think it's mostly populist, ratings-driven horseshit just like everyone else) but I must them credit that they alone let me agree with you, that bias is good...
By: ScissorHand26. on 14 Dec 08, 21:55:50
Conservatives do well on the internet? I think I'd have to disagree with that. Radio definitely, the bias is horrible. Any non news source on tv seems to be very liberal, but many news sources are horribly biased in a conservative manner. I think bias is good personally, it's always been like that, that's why we have more than one channel to choose from. What's wrong is when news sources ie. FOX, lie outright.
By: Vet223. on 08 Dec 08, 02:13:42
Yeah it's hard to NOT extrapolate when arguing against something that has to be below 500 characters. But I can agree do disagree as well (and of course mutually agree on the "give them what they ask for, always and immediately" notion). So right back at ya brother, NCIC (of the couch!)

You're putting words into my message that aren't reflective of my beliefs. This is a complex issue for debate on here. Of course there are far-ranging strategical considerations. For now I'm just going to leave my end of the discussion at that. Respects, and Welcome Home.
By: Vet223. on 07 Dec 08, 23:06:13
- you'd suggest we just leave the shattered pieces on the floor, and wash our hands of the situation once more? With 2 even more dangerous enemies knocking on the door of a future terrorist safe haven? Haven't we learned this lesson yet? BTW as for the "& co" I would agree, but most have been concentrating on Iraq these last few years anyway. And the big guy, Zawahiri, hasn't exactly been chilling in some Afghani cave either.
By: Vet223. on 07 Dec 08, 23:01:13
As for that other debate we aren't devoid of responsibilities in that region. First we put Saddam in power, gave him weapons, and WASHED OUR HANDS OF IT. Then we found out he was a psychopath, stopped him from invading Kuwait, then WASHED OUR HANDS OF IT. Then found out again because he murdered all the people that thought we would help them, blew up most of his WMDs and WASHED OUR HANDS OF IT. Then we finally do something significant that leaves Iraqis with no more power monopoly, and you-

...For one thing, we already know what types of organizations can put enough new armed combatants in that area to take it over in the aftermath. Both are our enemies. Secondly the historical implications of long term combat between sunni and shiite in mesopotamia are vastly overblown. Afghanistan may have never had peace but Iraqis know how to function as a successful country. Lastly killing Bin Laden to fight terror is like killing Colonel Sanders to stop KFC. Embarass and marginalize.

Of course the work of reporters is important, it's just that none do it fairly. None. The bad news bias means when it's going well, silence. When it's going bad, they can't shut up. Positive news doesn't sell. I was never used, and I feel "those that put us there" were all about supporting us to the utmost, but it's not exactly like they were handed blank checks with no resistance. Whether or not it's our responsibility (debatable), it is in our interests to prevent a civil war....
By: DrHMFIC. on 07 Dec 08, 19:54:14
Dude. If you're a real vet you know what my initials here stand for. I respect your views, but looking back you'll see that this reporter's work is important. Our brothers (& sisters) are getting used in Iraq. Used up. They're not getting the proper support from Bush/Cheney & those that put them there. If the Sunnis & Shiites want to kill each other, it's not our responsibility to stop them. Let our "allies" who criticize us deal with it, then. Meanwhile we should just go kill bin Laden & co.

You arguing idiots shut up and agree that Lara is one fine looking woman!
By: Vet223. on 30 Nov 08, 18:57:32
The way you use the phrase "you've" I don't think you're qualified to gauge which propaganda we get on TV. TV is overwhelmingly either liberal or fickle. Radio is the main area conservatives tend to do well, followed by the internet. American TV news media is a wholehearted practitioner of "bad news bias," at best. In fact that's what this video was about, they DO NOT show what Iraq is really like AT ALL, and REFUSE to report any GOOD news about it.
By: Vet223. on 30 Nov 08, 18:53:20
If you're really a dual poli sci major you know you just lied through your teeth. If that kind of thing could be "proven" it sure hasn't been done, and it's been suggested realistically, about once. Then debunked. The war on terror has taken at least one and a half terrorist havens off the map. It has reduced the threat of terrorism in both cases; the taliban is obvious, the Mukhabarat, Zarqawi, and Nidal should clue you in about Iraq. Read. Countries. It's not about a terrorist head-count.

Were you even watching the same thing? At the very end she got served, Ingraham HAD been to Iraq and in 8 days probably spent more time out of the green zone than Logan did. The stuff about needing a helicopter is bullshit, generally we would love to give an empty HMMWV seat to a journalist. Haven't you seen/heard someone reporting from/on the streets of an Iraqi city? Think critically people, they didn't get there by helicopter, those primarily land inside FOBs and airbases.

Never mind the thumbs down Miami, you're exactly right. What people don't realize is the anti-war movements for every major war have been equally big, often bigger. Yes, even WW2- many many people accused their world leaders (who saw Hitler needed to be resisted with force) of despicable things. On an instinctual basis humans would rather pretend peace is an option. By marginalizing the pacifists who always whine about this stuff, history did our current political climate a major disservice.
