The Listening Post - Basra handover - 21 Dec 07 - Pt 1

Back


This week on the Listening Post, Richard Gizbert analyses just what the coverage of the Basra pullout tells us about the evolution of the media's attitude towards the war in Iraq. Also in this show, we explore the ethics of airing hostage videos on television. Different crises around the world have increasingly involved the taking of hostages and broadcasters are ever more faced with the dilemma of when to put a hostage video on air and when not to.

It seems like they cut & run to the airport.

well... on the upside.. they might be robbing Iraq, but at least they are not forcing them from their homeland like the Zionists "Israel" have done with Palestine.
