Hmmm... is this fair?

Question

I just find it intruiging that when the war in Iraq started and thousands of innocents were killed, that time most media did not bother to emphasise these innocent killings. But when the reverse happens, there is a huge attention esp from the media!!! No wonder people are biased about Islam! This surely is propaganda? What is your opinion?

Answer 1

Well, whatever is happening in the world is crazy..that's all i have to say.

Answer 2

I'm not quite sure about what "the reverse" means. Do you mean that thousands of people are being killed, but not innocents? Or that there are no longer killings?
Or are you saying that Iraqui's are killing the United Nations troops?
What a pity it doesn't all settle down, Iraq can turn to peace and our boys come home! Does it really take a dictator to bring peace to a country?

Answer 3

There never was and never is war without propaganda.
By wars, reasons and pretexts are produced to intensify propaganda and - as a rule of thumb - it's always a propaganda contrasting an allegedly good way of life against an alledgedly bad one. There is really nothing more primitive and childish than that, notwithstanding all hightec and science put in such kind of destructive missions.

Answer 4

In any war, innocents are killed. They are called "civilians". This is one of the very worst aspects of wars.
As far as the press being un-biased: they do whatever it takes to sell newspapers....playing to the majority view, or titillating readers so that they will actually read the news reports. It is cynical and of course it is unfair. The United Nations is supposed to be un-biased and also to help with these matters. Ha!

Answer 5

It is propaganda....it is a tactic used during a time of war.

It has been used in almost every war in history. These people used Nostradamus prophecies during WW2 as well and people believed it (Yes this is a fact you can look it up). People will usually believe what the media tells them. That is why there is so much hate and fear in this country.

I for one, think that muslims in general are far more respectable then christians. They actually practice what they preach. On radical sides and non-radical the same.

Answer 6

Its called damage control, America only showed that your troops are being killed so you will want them to continue with the "fight for freedom" but now that the attention is away from the "war" in Iraq its OK to show the damage being done on both sides

Answer 7

Well that's what happens when a more advanced society takes on a backwards one. The people who haven't got the technology have to resort to guerilla warfare.
And the stalemate continues. Look at Vietnam for a good example. It's only a matter of time before someone blinks. Who will it be?

Answer 8

The media doesn't like you to have mixed feelings about things. They show you only what they want to show you in order to keep your opinion under their control. I get upset, too, when people are biased because of what they see on tv or read in the paper.

Answer 9

The media only cares about keeping their advertisers happy, so they show what will keep the money rolling in to their coffers. The truth is low on the list of priorities.

Answer 10

Have you seen the pictures of Muslims protesting in Europe, and what their signs say ?
They threaten innocent people with MURDER and SLAUGHTER and BEHEADING and another 9/11 but in Europe this time!

Answer 11

exceptionally advantageous you're able to desire to google those and it would have taken you much less time. in spite of the shown fact that the mascara one is on account which you like to widen your eyes to get the lashes without getting your eye ball and commencing off your mouth pulls the exterior down and you many times strengthen your eye brows which attracts the properly suited pores and skin that way.
