Actually, reporting on what is going on in the ground is much different than reporting what the administration talking points want to happen. What is it that's so hard to understand?
- the white house doesn't want an ugly incident killing Bush's chance at reelection
- they asked media to "look at the positives" and stop report what is really going on
As an example, if there was a civil war outside your door and people were dying on your front lawn but you just finished up a really dandy backyard BBQ, guess what the notes would urge you to report? The mean steaks and good times out back.
Any lens as a filter is not objective, but if objectivity is lost because one is told that a particular story is too harrowing and not good for the pres, are you happy to hear it's not reported?
