Randell Beck’s Sunday column was a Q&A with his son Cody, who recently returned after serving in Iraq. One question was in regard to the media bias:
Q. Is it possible to assess how the troops view the media coverage of the war?
A. There are a lot of mixed feelings when it comes to the media's representation of Iraq. Across the board, I would say soldiers see myriad things going on in Iraq, from the very bad to some humanitarian projects. It seems to them like the media is so pessimistic that it is trying to guide America's opinion about the war.
