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