Re: Media spin

Fact/Spin exercise

Fact: Saddam Hussein killed hundreds of thousands of his own
people with chemical weapons; had the wives of his political
enemies raped in front of their husbands, and put other political
enemies feet first into wood chippers.
Spin: Life was better under Saddam Hussein because there was no
violence by Al Qaeda.

Fact: Al Qaeda is setting off car bombs killing hundreds in
crowded markets in order to foment sectarian violence.
Spin: It is America's fault because we are failing to provide
security

Fact: U.S. soldiers on putting their lives on the line helping to
keep order, build schools, protect children and teachers, and
defeat the terrorists
Spin: U.S. soldiers are murdering and raping civilians.

You have got it perfectly BACKWARDS. You flunked your reality test.
