Lara Logan smacks down the “negative Iraq War Coverage” charges
[Click image to watch video.]
...Our own editors back in New York are asking us the same things. They read the same comments. You know, are there positive stories? Can't you find them? You don't think that I haven't been to the U.S. military and the State Department and the embassy and asked them over and over again, let's see the good stories, show us some of the good things that are going on?Oh, sorry, we can't take to you that school project, because if you put that on TV, they're going to be attacked about, the teachers are going to be killed, the children might be victims of attack. Oh, sorry, we can't show this reconstruction project because then that's going to expose it to sabotage. And the last time we had journalists down here, the plant was attacked.
I mean, security dominates every single thing that happens in this country….So how it is that security issues should not then dominate the media coverage coming out of here?

This week we've learned partisan plagiarists shouldn't pick fights with people who buy bandwidth by the terabyte, and partisan propagandists shouldn't pick fights with people who buy their own satellite networks and sell airtime in 30 second chunks.
Of course, since the wingnuts never learned the even older maxim -- never start a land war in Asia -- they are doomed to repeat this stupidity as well.
I just want to know when Dean Esmay and his fellow travelers are going to apologize for demonizing Michael Moore who was doing exactly what they now want: "showing the good news in Iraq" instead of the torture chambers, slaughter and violence.
(I really ought to get around to seeing that movie, especially since I got a copy as a Christmas gift a year ago.)
BTW, Lara Logan is babe-tacular.
