Please, could you just stop reporting the truth!

The Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman has blamed the media for influencing people’s opinion of the Iraq war through news bulletins that repeatedly report suicide bombings.


Whilst I agree with the spokesman that the media will influence people, they can hardly be blamed for reporting what is happening in Iraq.


The fact that Iraq is effectively in a state of civil war, with suicide bombings occurring on a daily basis, means it's hardly surprising that the media is reporting it. What else are they suppose to report?


I think the Government is lucky that the media is taking the angle it is, rather than reporting the number of innocent Iraqi’s that have been killed. I’m sure if they wanted to, the reports could be a lot worse for the Government.
