(voice over)KBBL-TV’s award winning news brings you this breaking news event.
Cut to Kent Brockman
Kent Brockman:This just in. A family dined out in a restaurant in Bagdad. A man purchased a automobile. And… another man fixed up his house sotto voiceThis is it!?!!? This is the freaking news you want me to read. Get me some script, dammit!
So what’s the news? According to IRAQ THE MODEL
You sit in a restaurant like this one and see families relaxing with their children playing and having fun late at night and you feel that there’s ‘something’ wrong in the way MSM is dealing with the Iraqi issue. I watch TV and I see hell breaking around me then I go outside and see enough normalcy AND progress to make me believe that the people in the media are not here to report how’s life going but rather they are here reporting pre-prepared stories and to be faced with something that contradicts the picture they have in their minds would be really annoying and will mean more hard work to try to find the truth or something close to it.
So let me see, I’m a reporter in Iraq and I’m here to tell stories that sell from a land that has been invaded, as everyone is saying it was invaded and not liberated. God, that must be awful! Ok so I need destruction, death, fear, clashes in the streets, angry mob…etc. Where do families having dinner in a place they couldn’t afford before the war, or a father buying a new car for his son which he also couldn’t afford before, or a man renewing his house which was falling apart, or free speech and flourishing business, where does all this fit in such a frame?! It doesn’t! Besides, where’s the action in such boring stories!?
Is it all sweetness and light in Iraq. Hell, no. But is it the hell-hole that mainstream media would have you think it is.
