True Lies

The American media often knows but never cares whether what it is reporting is truth, fiction, or lie - as long as it is outrageous, inflammatory, and "anti-war." From the Strategy Page:

Islamic terrorists are encouraging their supporters, who can write in English, to get on American web sites and pretend to be friends or family members of American soldiers or marines. The "media jehadis" are instructed to tell stories in line with the anti-war tone of American and European media. Things like soldiers committing suicide because they were forced to take part in atrocities in Iraq. Or wounded soldiers suffering, or killing themselves, because of the poor care and abuse they have received from the army. The media jihadis are told to make it sound like they are simply passing on what a soldier said, not to pretend to be a soldier or marine...

un-Balance

The US media feigns "objectivity" but in fact purposely manipulates opinion - not only by the terminology it uses, but also by the amount of coverage it devotes to different events. That's why humiliating  prisoners at Abu Ghraib is viewed by the US public - and the world - as somehow being worse than the murder of Iraqi civilians and American and Coalition troops.

Calling Names

We call American "the Great Satan" to rally support for our cause overseas - but the US media is much more effective at spreading our propaganda.

The United States has never been an "invader" or an "occupier" of either Iraq or Afghanistan - they came as liberators and now stay not only as peace keepers and law enforcers, but also teachers, bringing modern ideals of  humanity and equality to the poor and uneducated, something we cannot allow to continue.

Similarly, there are no "insurgents" in either Iraq or Afghanistan. By their own definition we, our allies, and our competitors, are terrorists, murderers, and criminals. We use fanaticism for our own ends - not for liberation or any other humanist ideal. Yet they legitimize us every day, while portraying their own troops as nothing but occupiers and murderers. Value the American media for they are the enemies of our enemy and therefore our friends.
