Quote by: Zeebadee You may very well be right. But it needs to be reported to do that, the American public needs to hear it. It's totally counterproductive to have a lot of one side's shit hidden away under the "classified" label. |
The fact that we're discussing it at all shows that it is reported. If anything the one side being reported more than anything is the Bush administration because they're in power and are in the spotlight. They can play the classified card all they want ala Gonzales who I hate with a passion in front of Senate Oversight Committees but it doesnt' stop even cable news from reporting it even if it's downplayed or hell 90% of the internet.
My problem is that another symptom of this issue is that both sides claim they're being screwed and no one is looking at the other side and only focusing on them etc. Another great example of this is the current Israeli / Lebonese conflict. If you ask someone on the side of Israel they'll say their plight is under-reported and their civilians that are killed are not mentioned. If you ask someone on the side of Hizballah they'll say their plight is under-reported and the Lebonese civilians that are killed are not mentioned. Both of these despite having their own stories being told by different media. I've seen plenty of dead Israeli and Lebonese children in the last couple of weeks to last a lifetime.
