I've been following the changes in iraq since well before the start of the war when my fiance deployed. I deployed just under two years after his return. We both had quite different experiences, but the news does not reflect either of them. Where should I go to find the most resourceful information on Iraq and Iran?

FOX shows the best news about Iraq. CNN is spin only.

Well...Fox at least shows some positive stories unlike CNN and MSNBC...
However, try some of the news blogs such as www.drudgereport.com and also the US military websites...
There is a lot of positive great things happening in Iraq and it is a shame that our media (and other countries' media too-they always want to show the US in a bad way) sees fit to only show us the bad!

I didn't see any difference in the newscast reporting done by CNN, Fox, BBC, UPI, Reuters. These are reputed news organizations, and they report news objectively and try to avoid bias as much as they can. They are unlike government owned entities that are mouthpiece of government propaganda. The bias actually comes from you or me who watch the news. Whether the news we see are favorable or against our own point of view, it is not the news reported that are biased, but it is ourselves, the audience who are biased. And unless you open your mind to accept that, then no news agency will ever be satisfactory for you.

Did ya ever hear the old story of the blind men and the elephant? Five blind men go up to an elephant, one to its trunk, one to its ears, one to its legs, one to its belly, one to its tail - each comes away with a different description of what an elephant is like.
The news media tries (supposedly) to show us the whole elephant in a brief moment - there's no way they're going to get an individual soldier's viewpoint. I'll guarantee my experience was different than either of yours, and each of my buddies' took away a different perspective apiece too.

Try going to your local TV stations in your town. Their web sites are different then Fox or CNN.
