Why do so many us news organization worry about how the rest of the world feels about the US?

Answer 1

There is where you sort of have it wrong. There isn't many news organizations. The AP is the only source for news organizations outside the U.S. There was at least one Vietcong spy (Pham Xuan An) that covered the Vietnam War for a news organization. In Iraq and Lebanon pictures were doctored and sources were made up to tell of events that never happened. That required just three people, one was fired (the guy that doctored photos in Lebanon) and two were promoted.

Even national news is done by very few reporters and the news is sent over the phone lines to various newspapers.

Some newspapers are filled from columns on the local and national level and passed off as news.

With so few field reporters, it doesn't take much to give a lopsided view of things. Take a few spies (Pham Xuan An spy for Vietnam, William F. Buckly Jr. former CIA) or radicals (Ann Coulter, Gloria Steinem), write opinion pieces or news stories and presto you got a media agenda.

Answer 2

The news will do anything to make the country look bad and to ruin Bush. Take a look at a news article sometime and see how unbiased it is toward the war and Bush.

They may pretend to be unbias with a "meaningful" headline but there is nothing unbiased about the articles.

Check the syntax of the article and even something as plain as the argument for or against whatever it is they are talking about. They might start off with a sentence trying to make them look fair and impartial but the other 10 paragraphs will slam Bush or the war and have ZERO credit to it. This I know first hand.

EDIT:
Someone mentioned that you "have" to have foreign policy. I remember learning how the U.S. was taken out of the Great Depression in isolationism (among many other things unrelated to this conversation).

Answer 3

I suppose that it has something to do with the "new world order", where we're all supposed to help one another & pay it forward in some form or another. I suppose they think that most of us care what other countries think about us. Sadly, they have been taught so much BS about life in America & we Americans have no idea how other countries function, because we have also been fed a lot of BS by the misinformation of the media & well meaning journalists.

Answer 4

Because you have to have Foreign Policy which we have none at present. Bush has ran them all off , that is reason we have no one that will help in Iraq. You need the aid and trust of the other countries foreign policy is very important. Old Bush said,"Your with me or your without me ", they showed he was without them, look at the mess we're in at the present time. If anyone doesn't think we need other countries than they need to go back to school and retake a history course, my, my what a mess this has turned out to be.
