Touting Military Misdeeds, Hiding Heroes
"MRC analysts tallied all stories regarding charges of U.S. military misconduct that aired on ABC, CBS and NBC's morning, evening, primetime and late night news shows from May 17 through June 7, before the networks' pessimism was interrupted by the successful termination of terrorist menace Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The analysts then searched those same shows for coverage of top medal recipients, starting in September 2001. They found that none of America's heroes received anywhere near as much attention from the broadcast networks as TV gave the latest allegations of military wrongdoing — and many received no coverage at all."

Donsky while I agree on the sensationalism part, I disagree fervently that there is no bias. They are NOT mutually exclusive. The story of SGT Leigh Ann Hester is rather sensational, considering that she is the first woman to to be awarded the Silver Star since WWII...but that would portray our soldiers in a positive and heroic light and the media cant have that in an election year.
Donsky, this IS an example of media bias. military misconduct is worthy of substantial coverage, but so it military heroism, and factual reporting!
For example, how many battles have we won in Iraq? How many have we lost? What's the story with rebuilding? Have you seen in the ny slimes any reporting on how many schools we've rebuilt? how about the fact that there must be at least 1 or 2 Iraqi's who are actually thankful that we're there. Maybe it's even more than 1 or 2? What about all the lives we've saved? any mention of that in the ny slimes? abc news? cnn? is it reasonable to assume that we must have saved a couple of lives? how many people have we freed from tyranny? how many people are better off since we got there?
I haven't seen anything about these subjects, but i see a whole lot of stories about "civilian death tolls" and 2000 American dead, 2100,2200, etc, etc,....
If you don't see the bias, you're not looking.
