Why Americans Think the War in Iraq is Failing.

Today we have 24/7 news. It should be a good thing, but the majority of the newscasters and analysts have a liberal bend to their thinking. So when they report they skewer the story to an anti-war, anti-American slant.

The surge is working very well. But we don't hear about the successes, only the failures. In every war, there are failures as well as successes. That is the nature of war. You cannot win every battle.

A parallel is being drawn between Iraq and Vietnam. Both were long wars, both were unpopular with the liberal left, and both were long. People forget that if the media didn't report the way they did, the North was going to surrender to the South. We won the Tet offensive. But the way the media reported the event, it seemed to the American people that we were losing. Thus we lost the war due to inept media coverage.

This could have been true with World War 2. If the media had covered that war the same way they cover it today, we would still have the Nazis ruling much of Europe.



What this proves, is that you have to take the media's reports with a large grain of salt. Don't believe everything they tell you. The media has an agenda to push upon the American people a liberal, anti-American viewpoint.
