For governments at war, the media is an instrument of war or an element in war that is to be controlled.
From Bruce Jackson
The media is not at all homogeneous in the way it tells us about war.
Bridges become frames for looking at the world around us.

America has the longest prison sentences in the West, yet the only condition long sentences demonstrably cure is heterosexuality.
All governments in all wars have used all the means at their disposal to put their own motives, decisions and actions, and the actions of their military forces, in the best possible light.
All too often, academic departments defend their territory with the passion of cornered animals, though with far less justification.
Books can now be on the stands within days from delivery of a formatted manuscript, and often are.
Both of our wars in Iraq were, on American television, largely bloodless.
