Comments on: REPORT: Notes From… Syria journalists http://deanstudents.blogsome.com/2006/08/26/report-notes-from-syria-journalists/ Dean of Students Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:41:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: anonblogposter http://deanstudents.blogsome.com/2006/08/26/report-notes-from-syria-journalists/#comment-397 Wed, 30 Aug 2006 02:11:23 +0100 http://deanstudents.blogsome.com/2006/08/26/report-notes-from-syria-journalists/#comment-397 It's obvious that these "journalists" are simply bringing ostensibly civilized debate to the U.S. with a strong dose of anti-American bias -- and act like they're above it all. It is laughable that these editors call the U.S. press "ignorant" of Syrian issues when many in the Middle East skewer the West and then label it as honest reporting. The Western news media isn't perfect, but I doubt any serious reporter or editor would suggest bias here because "the Muslims in this country highly influence the media," like one of the participants did about her religious counterparts. Then again, there's always the opportunity to work for state-run media. I'm sure Joseph Pulitzer would be proud. What a joke.
