Mickey, I don't know how the media in the USA function at the moment:
The news here function like this:
During peace: As bad as you can find no good news to be found
During war: as good as you can find bury the bad unless it is too obvious.
Of course I always knew this so take that in stride, I haven't been watching the news a lot but just enough to get the gist(sp?). I have yet to hear anything of civilians being killed, a lot of emphasize on the quality of our bombs being so accurate they could hit a nat, etc. I listend to more than CNN to but pretty much the same, going on and on about Saddam trying to use disinformation agaisnt us(The river seen), and not answering question during answer sessions. (not that I know of...)
Pesonally I thought the video of the iraqian civilian takign a shoe to Sadam's poster as soldiers tore it down, was <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> and staged (I mean he even posed/smiled at the camera). They used this event as (all iraqians hate sadam vibe) and keep on showing it over and ... errr.
