MTV and its reporting bias.
I fully realize that reporting bias happens everywhere. But the level and extent of MTV ... well.
Let me first say that MTV covering this war is a mistake. MTV ... you are a MUSIC channel. You play music videos. Stop trying to become something you're not. You do not see CNN, Fox News, MSNBC ... etc. playing 50 cent music videos.
In any case, the reporting bias in MTV is ridiculous. Everything they do is such a pro-war slant it's sickening. I was watching a little bit of MTV while eating my lunch ... they had one of their "correspondents" from the MTV studio go out and "interview" arab-americans what they thought about the war.
And guess what? They interviewed a Pakistani, some Egyptions, and a Bangladeshi. That's like asking the Mexicans what they think about the Columbians. How about interviewing the hoardes of Iraqi-Americans clearly supporting this war. And how about showing some of thise clips of the Iraqis rejoicing in the streets?
Ridiculous.
