Israeli-Hezbollah War Taking Media Heat Off of Iraq
During the Israeli-Hezbollah War we see that the media is so narrowly focused on it that they have stopped reporting what is going on in Iraq. For instance a recent car bomb, which killed 50 people in Baghdad was barely reported. Saddam Hussein went on a hunger strike during the middle of his trial and is that was not newsworthy either.
Currently there is a lot of progress being made in Iraq and yet none of it is going to get on the news. Instead we see that the United Nations is making headlines calling the Israeli-Hezbollah War a huge humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.
We see that Hezbollah and the Lebanese army will join forces if the Israeli army invades Lebanon. We see that Israel is now invading Lebanon and Condoleezza Rice has been dispatched by the United States of America to go talk with the Lebanese president and then with the Israelis.
The news media has been focused on the 700,000 refugees, which the Israeli-Hezbollah War is estimated in producing. CNN is constantly talking about the war without any breaks for other news. Even when American Floyd Landis won the Tour de France, there was little mention of it.
It is interesting how the media focuses on the war between Israel and Hezbollah and fails to mention that 500 Chinese people drown in a recent flood, which nearly twice the number of casualties from the war. Please consider this in 2006.

The latest television campaign ad in the Virginia Senate race features two of the primary election approaches engineered by Democratic strategists for this November's mid-term contest: attacking the President's judgment and competence and appealing to the patriotism and dedication to service of current and former military members. These two campaign tactics, along with a third, newer strategy that just emerged in recent weeks, form the core of Howard Dean's plan for winning back the House and Senate after twelve years of Republican control.The first part of the campaign strategy centers on attacking the Republican candidate, Senator George Allen, by framing him as "guilty through association" for his support of the President and his policies.
