I know I saw this right this morning on MSNBC. After explaining how American forces raided some secret Iraqi prison where it was alleged Shiite guards were abusing Sunni detainees, it showed the bare back of one man with, indeed, several really big bruises. Only problem with this background shot was, this "detainee" was wearing a 9mm in his back belt.
Trust me, I saw this...two degrees in journalism and many years in the public affairs business so I'm well trained in watching the news carefully.
And did you ever wonder WHY every network feels compelled to report each and every American death in the Iraqi and Afghanistan war zones? Can anyone remember daily causualy reports duirng the Korean or Viet Nam wars?
I dunno. I'll stick with PBS. Most of the time, they report it straight.
