No Game 5-Media bias, part 2

Ok, if you’re accused of robbery, should you be treated as a credible source,
NO. This is what the media is currently doing with this whole

“Bush says the media bias”. Now I know that I have already looked at NBC News but this one was ok to. The report was on wither or not the media was being biased toward the war like Bush was alleging. Here is what they said to defend themselves,


“Reporters used to travel more freely, before the rise in violence during the last year and a half. But why is the administration now seeming to blame the media?

George Packer, author of “The Assassins’ Gate: America in Iraq,” has reported from Iraq since the war began.

"I think they may well be laying the groundwork for a kind of ‘who lost Iraq strategy’ if and when American forces have to withdraw,” he says.


In fact, it's a familiar tactic.

“I think they are batting around the press because they are frustrated they have been down in the polls so long,” says former presidential adviser David Gergen.

It's a political strategy by a White House struggling with an unpopular war.”

Ok so now there blaming the Bush administration for using the media to cover the bad speculation in Iraq. Talk about fair and unbiased news reporting!
