The Media War

Comment and analysis from Ottawa, Chennai, New Delhi, Doha, Sydney, London, Canberra, Tehran, Ramallah, Beijing, Bangkok, and Jidda, April 8, 2003
A bloodied camera at the Hotel Palestine in Baghdad. The hotel, which houses a number of foreign journalists, was hit by a U.S. airstrike on April 8, 2003.
A bloodied camera at the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad. Two journalists were killed, and at least three others wounded, when a U.S. tank fired at the hotel on April 8, 2003. The same day, U.S. air strikes destroyed the Baghdad offices of Arab satellite channels Al-Jazeera and Abu Dhabi TV, killing an Al-Jazeera correspondent (Photo: AFP).

Ottawa The Ottawa Citizen (conservative), April 7: Despite what may be the most comprehensive, and expensive, effort to cover a war in history—and a long period of preparation before hostilities began—we still have only a general sense of what is happening in Iraq. We know the country is under intense bombardment. The Americans and British appear to be “winning,” although, as New York Times writer R.W. Apple asked yesterday: “How and when will the United States and its allies know they have won?” (When they find Saddam Hussein’s body, his identity confirmed by DNA testing, or when CNN loses interest?). But despite endless interviews, crucial information remains unavailable—such as the number of casualties on the Iraqi side. Yesterday, a U.S. briefer estimated as many as 2,000 Iraq soldiers were killed in the most recent fighting, but it could be less, he said, or more. As for civilian casualties, these first appeared to be "light.”…Still, thousands upon thousands of bombs have been dropped in Baghdad and environs over 19 days. You’d think there would be heavy casualties…a lot more than have been reported….One day we will find out what is happening in Iraq—how many people died, how the Iraqis feel about the invasion, how U.S. and British troops got along, how successful U.S. military tactics were—but it won’t be because of technological advances in filing from the front. Personally, I'm waiting for the book.

Chennai The Hindu (centrist), April 6: As this analysis is being typed, the U.S. Central Command headquarters is claiming that substantial numbers of coalition troops are in the center of Baghdad. Simultaneously, Iraqi television is broadcasting pictures of crowds cheering…in repeats of Saddam Hussein’s now famous walk in Baghdad, not far from where the coalition forces are claimed to be positioned. It has never been easy to determine whom to believe in the welter of claims and counter-claims made by the coalition forces and by the Iraqi high command. If television as a medium is itself the message, it has become one of disinformation….The coalition has from the very beginning deliberately sought to create doubts about Saddam Hussein's fate. He has been, according to the coalition, dead, wounded, believed dying, moved out of Iraq, lost control over the country, and other such examples of imaginative intelligence, until the man boldly walked his talk in front of cameras. That brought forth the equally amazing flow of commentaries about someone impersonating Saddam Hussein. Even in the face of observers and reporters in Baghdad who reported otherwise, the anchors on Western channels always used the phrase, “assuming of course that this was the real Saddam Hussein.” The battles of Nassiriyah, Karbala, and Najaf were likewise portrayed as won when the fact was otherwise. The liberation of Basra was no different in fact and fiction….The smog of war will darken the skies and confuse minds on both sides.

New Delhi Outlook (independent weekly), April 14: I am witnessing the war as everyone else is perhaps back home in India, piggy-riding the likes of CNN, Fox, and so on….But a far greater help has been my new stint as a journalist with Al-Jazeera. The Arabic satellite television channel has in the past week kicked up as much heat and dust as has the actual war. For its no-holds-barred reportage, mirroring the war in all its gore, the channel has been in the news as much as Baghdad or Basra have been….But the offensive against Al-Jazeera stinks, just as the unfair and unjust war does. And I am as much outraged on seeing our Web site being hacked and paralyzed as ordinary residents of Baghdad would expectedly be these days….The heavily biased coverage of the war in the Western media and the targeting of Al-Jazeera could only have stiffened the Arab feelings. The region is more or less convinced that the West, Bush, Blair and the media included, is conspiring against them….So long as television channels broadcast images of captured Iraqi soldiers being forced to kneel down and body-searched, it was O.K. with the world. But near mayhem broke out the moment Al-Jazeera telecast images of some captured British troops being interviewed. The inherent duplicity hasn't been lost on the Arabs.

Doha Al-Jazeera (international broadcaster), April 7: With the psychological warfare campaign in full swing, the American press has been bombarded with pro-coalition news that has later been proved to be false. U.S. media outlets heavily reported on seemingly fabricated events, such as an uprising in Basra, the discovery of an extensive chemical weapons factory, the surrender of high-ranking officials and claims of prisoner executions, all of which were officially disowned within days. Al-Jazeera’s coverage of the war, which featured Iraqi TV images of captured American soldiers, drew scathing criticism from the U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell. Correspondents for Al-Jazeera were later banished from the New York Stock Exchange, shot at while filming food warehouses being shelled by British tanks in Basra, and chastised by an American general during a press conference at a U.S. military base in Qatar.
