Last night on the Discovery Channel, of all places...
was an hour long show, hosted by Tom Brokaw, that showed all sorts of things about Iraq that we aren't supposed to see. Flag draped coffins in an airplane, protests, wounded Iraqis, wounded Americans, body bags in the streets, actual bad guys shooting at us, us shooting at actual bad guys, and ...

Is this a good sign- that the *ists are losing their iron hand grip on the media?

What was even more amazing is that GE sponsored it, and it was produced by NBC!

Anyone else see it? Or was I dreaming.

2. I didn't watch it because I thought it will be pro-war propaganda
about "Iraqi Freedom" and how things are so much better now for us and them.

Darn it. Who knew that the media is finally waking up? I hope they show it again.

3. Same here!
I thought the same thing when I saw preview for it, so I skipped watching it.
