Media Bias
By Matt Margolis | March 28, 2003
I must apologize for not posting the past two days, I feel ill on Tuesday night and I’ve been trying to recuperate since. I am not 100% better yet, but I’ll try and get back up to speed within a day or so.
The first thing I want to bring up, is how diappointed I am in the media for their constant attempts of portraying this war in the most negative way. We suffered about 25 fatalities in the first week, and they have a field day like this is another Vietnam or Korea.
You can’t place a value on human life, but 25 fatalities in American forces is not even an itch to scratch on the American military as far as our overall strength and resolve is concerned.
On September 11, 2001, if someone said that by the end of March in 2003 that the United States would not have been the victim of another large scale terrorist attack on native soil, I would have “Highly doubtful.” If someone said before the war started that we’d have only suffered 25 fatalities in one week of fighting against Iraqi forces, I would have said “Highly doubtful.”
The war is going well, and the media has to accept that and report responsibly.
