Reality vs. Reported Reality

One of the reasons I started blogging was because I subscribed to the State Department mailing list that sends you the transcripts of the daily briefing.

I was stunned by two things:

  1. The Reporters asks the stupidest questions imaginable.

  2. The news as reported didn't match the briefing.

That was before the war. The coverage of the war itself has been abysmal, because basically, all the reporters hide in their hotel rooms and make up shit. Want to see how bad? Mudville Gazette has some great pieces
