The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

One of the French television networks is deliberately aiding the Saddam regime in creating anti-American propaganda (page 3). Before reading this and getting too furious with the French, keep in mind that we only know this because another French television network filmed the entire thing and revealed the deception.

TF1 viewers also got a closeup shot of a child with a bandaged head screaming with fear in Baghdad hospital. At virtually the same moment, France 2's audience saw a much wider angle showing the child in a hospital room filled with newsmen, lights, and microphones and the station's reporter - beware of reporters actually on the scene - saying that the child was screaming in terror at the commotion in what was an Iraqi propaganda set up.

Many thanks to the second French network for their integrity. May it pay off in increased ratings for you. Your politicians could learn from your example.
