are we getting anything near the truth out of iraq? |
|
daily i wonder this....ALL NEWS is vetted through the pentagon and there are only a handful of reporters on the ground...i suspect we are getting a rosy scenario since the truth and bu$hco are enemies.

1. We're seeing as much truth out of Iraq |
|
as we are seeing the flag-draped coffins of our brave soldiers who died there. In other words: none.

3. Truth is subjective. Facts can be framed to suit the framer. |
|
Objective Truth is a fantasy.

6. True. Even to fit lies like those told by our government. |
|
I guess it all depends on the question, the framing, and who answers the question and their motivations.
