Why Its Difficult To Trust The American Media Today....

Agenda journalism is driving the editorial policies of newspapers in America and its difficult to judge whether one is getting balanced reporting of fact from these sources or a screed to drive a point of view. The acceptable protest by one Cindy Sheehan, who lost a child to the war in Iraq, is met with unacceptable coverage of her protest by not providing readers with all the facts as written about here.
Rational people can disagree whether the war in Iraq is justified. But a newspaper's job is to report all relevant facts and present different perspectives, not just those that suit one particular viewpoint.
They just have to do a better job. And we have to make sure that they do it.
