Good article on the Christian Science monitor about patriotism and protest. Turns out, that it isn't wrong . . . despite what Fox News might tell us:
- notice no mention of protest that has occured worldwide
- notice no mention of the detention of Iraqi refugees.
- notice no mention of the fact that the top anti-terror official, Rand Beers, resigned yesterday, on the eve of the war with Iraq -- noting that with a war on Iraq, his job would be become infinitely more difficult.
- The conflict of interest with Karen Hugh's job as RNC consutant and a direct advisor to Bush (working for him in a non-political capacity).
Considering that Fox is the most watched news network . . . I guess I think it's freaky that they don't report anything that is critical of the government. Well, of course, unless it's a democrat. I think it's really odd that public television is more critical of the government than Fox News, which ostensibly should be less affiliated with the government . . . Guess I'll keep watching.
