Why is it that I have not seen the news chanels leading with this story? Maybe becuase it isnt something that is bad. Is this just more proof that the news reports what they want instead of what is important?

Answer 1

I have an idea.

Let's use the combined ambition, intelligence, and investigative skills of our best Yahoo! Answers contacts in the Politics section to compile a list every six months of important stories the Liberal media has purposely ignored. Instead of just complaining about how biased the media is, we can have solid proof and maybe start a backlash against the media until it is more balanced and responsible.

What about the latest story that the two Koreas are working to establish a formal peace in lieu of the nearly 50 year old "armistice".

The article says: "Leaders of the two Koreas agreed on Thursday to try to bring peace to the Cold War's last frontier, just a day after the North signed up to an international deal to disable its nuclear facilities."

How about the press giving at least a little credit to Bush, who steadfastly refused to give into bilateral talks the North Koreans needed evade continued pressure from China and Japan? How about giving Bush credit for finally forcing Korea to dismantle its nukes program?

How about acknowledging that it was Bush's toughness that made Libya suddenly and unexpectedly renounce any future terrorist activity? Isn't it a little odd that such an enormous development is ignored by the press? If a Democratic President had achieved such a coup, it would be front page news, and he'd be Time Magazine "Man Of The Year".

Instead of publishing a daily body count about Iraq, how about balancing that with the body count here in the U.S., which for the last six years has been ZERO!

Would it kill the myopic, effete, Liberal press to give some credit to Bush for the fact that Israel has withdrawn from previously occupied territory, or recognize our efforts to get a homeland for the Palestinians?

Any possibility of extracting even grudging acknowledgement that Saudi Arabia, which used to play both sides of the fence regarding terrorism, is now a firm ally? How about Bush's miracle of keep the Pakistani President from getting cold feet and distancing himself from the war on terror?

There are so many things Bush has done that have gone unacknowledged. Let's start holding the press accountable for their unbelievable bias. Let's prove our case against them.

I did hear this on NBC morning news (4:30 am). I thought it was interesting considering....
