Is This Media manipulation on a grand scale?

The up close action video of the statue being destroyed is broadcast around the world as proof of a massive uprising. Still photos grabbed off of Reuters show a long-shot view of Fardus Square... it's empty save for the U.S. Marines, the International Press, and a small handful of Iraqis. There are no more than 200 people in the square at best. The Marines have the square sealed off and guarded by tanks. A U.S. mechanized vehicle is used to pull the statue of Saddam from it's base. The entire event is being hailed as an equivalent of the Berlin Wall falling... but even a quick glance of the long-shot photo shows something more akin to a carefully constructed media event tailored for the television cameras.


American public unfazed, demands 24-hour American Idol marathon.

There are a lot of other good articles on the Information Clearing House site.

Two items of note are the article on How Bush And Rumsfeld Traded American $, Citizenship And Residency In The US For The Capitulation Of Baghdad and the picture of U.S. Marines stealing gold form one of Saddam's palaces.

One thing that really worries me is that because of the success of the Iraq War, George Dubya will most likely be re-elected.
