Here is the problem, Koppel is reading these names out without any context to why they dies... These folks died for a cause they believed in, obviously very strongly. Koppel read these names out in an effort to make their sacrifice appear petty. That is why Fox News is going to pay tribute to their sacrifice, as well as read their names. All of this talk about bias reporting is crazy. Fox is clearly the only channel that presents an issue from both sides.... And because they do this, it infuriates other news organizations b/c they like to spin things to the left, and Fox presents the truth.
Fox definitely has a conservative bias. CNN supposedly has a liberal slant, but I don't see it. They just do less of the "real news" and more sports, entertainment, etc. I never watch ABC, so I wouldn't know about that one. Despite the phrase "liberal media", there is no such thing, I don't know where that came from. Fox does not present issues from both sides. Well, maybe they try, but they always end up making Bush seem good.
And I don't understand what everybody's problem with Newsweek is... I like it a lot better than Time. Time reminds me of CNN--they talk a lot about health, sports, entertainment, etc, and are spending less and less space on actual news. Then when they do print an actual news article, it tends to have a conservative bias. For example, the whole Clarke conspiracy was presented from completely opposite perspectives in Time and Newsweek. Time printed an article about how Condoleezza Rice was getting "attacked" by the "liberal media". Newsweek printed an article about Richard Clarke and how strong they thought his testimony was.
Scott, I don't believe that all of the soldiers who died in Iraq believed in their cause. Many of them are against the war, but since they were already in the army, they had no say in the decision to ship them off to war.
i have a problem with both newtowrks....heres the deal...abc news is reading the names of dead soldiers because they know it will bring in the ratings...they could give a **** less about the soldiers dyin for the counrty...all abc wants is money same with fox **** bothe of them
I used to watch the news but I stopped because I recognised that a lot of what they say can't be trusted... Even if some of it is true, they twist people's words around a lot and such..
