When news covers the war, they
never show the reality of war. They like glorify war. Even though we know war
is harsh and ugly. It’s hard to believe a news reporter, who supposed to be unbiased
and tells both side of the story, to show best parts of the war. People would think
reporters would do this, but they didn’t tell the truth about war. It was like
they weren’t allowed to tell whole story. Maybe because of what happen during
the Vietnam War the civil unrest. They were scare that might happen again.
Probably because it was war we shouldn’t been a part of once again. It was
crazy that we were able to watch the bombings of Iraq like a Monday night
football game. Every news outlet had
their camera people cover the bombings. I remember as kid watching this. I can say
I was brainwashed by the news thinking that all Iraqis were bad people. Then I got
older understood that it was very small group of people we were fighting. If I was
brainwashed think that then think about all people who truly believe the Iraqis
were bad people. It was almost like the news was a recruitment tool for the
military for long period of time. It is sad to think that news isn’t doing
their job as a check for local affairs. It supposed to inform people of what is
happening all around them. But, instead they talk about sensation stories that
really don’t matter, but what needs to be told to the people is consider not
that important.
