Fixed some of the typos. I'm dyslexic, so if you notice some let me know!

Interesting article. Might be a bit overly cheeky or confident, but it is a breath of fresh air to read a thoughtful article. (One that doesn;t just spew out what the white house gives the media to report.)

I lost complete faith in the mainstream media after following closely what was happening in Iraq. When I made several visits to Iraq to get first hand experience...what shocked me was how the reality on the ground did not match what I was reading back home in my newspapers.

I sat and had tea with one of the top BBC newsmen in Baghdad at the time and I was told that there was no point in sending something different to London as they would just trash it and it would not see the light of day.

Anyway. I thank you for what you are doing. A counter view to the mainstream is needed and that is the value of what you have achieved.
