Depends where you sit

I've been a pastor for, oh some 17 years or so now, and I KNOW that there are always at least two sides to every story, but this, this is craziness.




Three Different Perspectives

Perspective means alot these days. The coverage that CNN gave to the war was often tiresome, so I would change to BBC -less "experts" less graphics, less, well just less.


Then there's this from Yahoo News



U.S. broadcasters' coverage of the Iraq war was so unquestioningly patriotic and so lacking in impartiality that it threatened the credibility of America's electronic media, the head of the BBC says.

"Personally, I was shocked while in the United States by how unquestioning the broadcast news media was during this war," Dyke said in a speech at a University of London conference on Thursday.

"If Iraq proved anything, it was that the BBC cannot afford to mix patriotism and journalism. This is happening in the United States and if it continues, will undermine the credibility of the U.S. electronic news media."





Yeah, I know, CNN (and hundreds like her) are not in business to broadcast the news, they're in business to make money.

When did everything start being about money? I must have missed the memo.
