Sam Seder today interviewed the Newseek Bureau Chief

(or whatever he's called) who in Baghdad and then Nir Rosen in Istanbul.

He asked them the same question and they both gave the same answer.

The question was whether Americans were getting too much bad news from Iraq and not enought of the "good news."

Both answered independently: Americans are not getting enough of the BAD news....they have no conception of how bad it really is.

I heard the Rosen interview in full (during the last hour of the show). Rosen says the US presence in Baghdad really is gone; Americans are like another militia; they shoot Sunnis, Shias, whoever, because you don't know who is who; etc etc. He's totally pessimistic, says in about a year Kurdistan will break off. The Turks are freaking and are being pushed closer to Syria and Iran. It will be Sunnis and Shias fighting over the rest of the country.

It was a great interview and I can't do it justice.

but now maybe the news will trickle down to the masses who have been exposed to the complaints that not enough good news is being told to the Amuriken people by the corporate newsmedia.
