RE: Does the Media run the world ?

“…they already knew the atrocity stories as told by the Kosovars weren´t all too reliable either. But that is a bit the problem with the BBC docus: they only ask authorities, and very little ´from the ground´. “

They didn’t do too bad a job with “Moral Combat”.
They spoke to the pilots about the civi convoy and they claimed there were reports of Serb tanks in the convoy.
They then interviewed a Kosovar Albanian who lost a limb in the attack and he stated for 3km in either direction of his position in the convoy he could not see and military vehicles.
While speaking to KLA members admissions were also made that before NATO went in they would stage attacks from near Albanian villages in the hopes that reprisal attacks would garner outside support.
(He admitted is was cold and calculating but they wanted independance and this was how they could get it.)

“The Patriot is still a combat-proven success… “

As is the Scud…

“You mean like “Top Gun” and especially “JAG”?

No, i mean the documentaries. “

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I meant military assitance was required for Topgun and JAG and the resulting bias makes them rather trivial… much the same influence as the military assistance has with supposed doco’s
