If you mean a personal message then I got it too. Oh well – Nermal

Thanks for the compliment!
I don’t know what you see of the US media…I believe you believe what you’re TOLD about the media.

I believe what I read in an article in the Daily Telegraph (I think it was, if not then it was The Times): an American writer who had been embedded with the toops but who found that his words were being ‘sexed up’ by his editor because they were almost regarded as traitorous. He was giving the words from the soldier in the field, from the officers on the front line but his stories were rewritten so that each soldier was a superman with no fears and each officer was a military genius in his own right. If anyone questioned what they were doing or why they were there then each sentence was changed to read like something almost out of the presidents handbook…
On talking with others in the media he found that the TV guys were actually being instructed to only interview officers with a positive viewpoint and not to even bother talking to lowly grunts without a PR officer present. This even standard even went back to homeland America with local newspapers apparently happy to verbally run-down anti war protestors without giving them right of reply, but giving full coverage to patriotic groups in a manner described as very much like Nazi Germany prior to WW2. – Nermal

And if he does that in polite company…? – Nermal

Er, thanks for sharing. Thank goodness I have a gas mask because I sense that it is a real meaty one. Ugh – Nermal

No, Liverpool. And that is the touchy bit. Serious. – Nermal
