Why is the coverage for Bush's illegal war treated with kid gloves but Clinton's humanitarian mission in Somalia scorned by our media? They showed that soldier dragged through the streets in Somalia over and over and over until it was inevitable that the public would turn against the mission.

Yesterday we had our soldiers dragged through the streets and rocks or bricks thrown at them, yet I see nothing about this on the news. Even if footage was not captured, not even an interview? Why are they protecting Bush's war like this?

1. Because The Media is controlled by those who wish us not to see it
:shrug: seems kind of strange that they aren't showing it.

2. Now Doubles you know the answer to that.
You will not see anything in the media that will further turn the tide against Chimpy's war. There is no "liberal media" in this country. The media is owned by Corporations that have a specific monetary interest in keeping Chimpy in office. It's almost impossible for them to be non-biased. No suprise.
