Where is our Propaganda?
Ace makes the point I've been trying to make for years. In fact, it's the reason I started this blog. Ace:
Has anyone noticed how very, very little pictures or footage we see of American or coalition forces actually doing what Americans like to see them doing-- killing Taliban and Al Qaeda?Read the rest. Since Ace and I no longer share the same phsycial server, it looks like his site is up and running smoothly.Why is that, do you think? ....
The net effect is a decrease in morale. We see every torn body of every child killed by Iraqi terror-bombs, meticulously and lovingly documented by the media, but barely a single terrorist coming to a bad end. We see US soldiers killed by terrorists -- the terrorists sometimes bring cameras -- and that's shown on CNN.
But showing terrorists blasted to hell would be, what, pandering? Jingoistic? In bad taste?
This is balance?
