If you don't think the media ever tries to make the U.S. look bad, start watching CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, and PBS, and listen to NPR. They are obsessed with reporting nothing but negativity and spinning it against the United States at every turn. It is disgusting.



I have said that there is obviously truth to the story, but the extent of the destruction caused I would bet a million dollars is greatly hyped up. I don't think the major news corporations lie. It would be too easy for their competition to take them down if they did. What I think they do is use a great deal of spin in the form of selective angling and hyperbole in the form of facts put together to form illusion. It is a lot like the behavior of trial lawyers. It is a flat out ethics violation for a lawyer to ever tell a single lie in a legal proceeding or document. However, using facts to create illusions is perfectly acceptable. That is what the major news corporations do.
First off, if Hitler had conquered the world, he would have a huge amount of opposition, and perhaps the entire world would join together in a revolt against him. Dictatorships will fall by revolts and protests by the people. His government probably wouldn't exist today if he had one WW II.

Also, the news may be anti-Bush, but they wouldn't even think about being anti-American. There are some good corruption stories to tell, and others that the people wouldn't ever want to hear about.
