Someone sent me this link. Made me think how censored and biased the media is. I support the war on terror but it's so easy to be ignorant of the innocent victims.

you mean you didnt realise before that the media would be biased when it came to war and that there would be innocent victims as well?

Obviously I knew the media is biased but when you watch news reports and read news stories that are always from one side of the picture and don't see pictures and footage of innocent victims is becomes forgotten.

It impressed on me the importance of really seeing the bigger picture prior to backing an opinion.

No man should be allowed own more than one newspaper company, it is getting to the stage where our view of the world is determined by Rupert Murdock and all his tacky tabloids and sky news.

The media would not be allowed to show most of these images - they're too graphic, there are plenty of reports that show images of a similar nature - just not as graphic - that emphasise the suffering of those in Iraq.
