This reports should be required viewing. Although I disagree with the Channel 4's opinions that the news should come solely through our western lens for our consumption, I believe that a more truthful explanation of these events is outside that genera. Rather the story should be considered a vehicle of what some in the Iraqi population see as their reality. More of our broadcast resources should be made available to local Iraqi journalist and individuals to explain to our population their messages. The net is a good conduit but NBC, ABC, CBC and the like have better “gates” to our hearts and minds. But we in the West must still be willing to seek and find then listen to an Iraqi reality even when it’s outside of comfortable opinions and perceptions. Only by doing this will we be able to understand a way through this war. |
