I think what this world needs is a marathon of Wonder Years episodes. I’m tired of the war coverage, yet intriged enough to watch it continuously. I remember Rick Waldrop telling me about how he grew up in the 70s when there was a body count on the nightly news through the course of the Vietnam war. Maybe it won’t get that bad, yet I can see the count seemlingly going up each time I turn on the tv. We all need to stop watching tv.
I’ve been watching MSNBC since I think they have the best war coverage. CNN is too intellectual and boring, while Foxnews is not as fair and balanced as I would like to see. Besides, you can’t beat Peter Arnett in Baghdad. Where has he been for the past 10 years? He just pops up each time we have a war with Iraq then goes back to obscurity…the subject of a VH1 “Where are they now?” episode.
It’s been stressful for all of us. But not as stressful as those soldiers in the field. Or the innocent civilians in Iraq…. I couldn’t imagine what its like to be in the middle of a war. Which makes me think…do those news reporters riding around in the tanks with the soldiers…do they have a death wish or something. It’s not worth the Pullitzer.
Somehow I expect Saddam to show up on the island of Atlantis with Amelia Earheart, Elvis, and Jimmy Hoffa while the Dixie Chicks sing the national anthem. Weirder things have happened.

Jeff!,
I didn’t want to make all these comments, but you’re just leaving yourself open to them so….
FoxNews is just the opposite of what you said, the most biased by far. The rest of them have forgotten that THEY are Americans too. They overlook the fact that they get to report what would get you tortured and killed all the time in Iraq, but to hear them you’d think unless they find a big pile of anthrax somewhere all this has been for nothing!
