No Kidding

A very poignant cartoon that shows just how skewed the media coverage in Iraq is. Most of the reporting in Iraq comes from Baghdad, and very few American journalists are actually reporting from anywhere else in the country. That's not to say we don't have bloggers and independent journalists doing the job - Michael Yon - for example, but Yon is the exception, not the rule.

The media is farming out their work to locals, some of whom have their own agenda, which is anti-American at its core. And the journalists aren't exactly pro-Administration either, so they'll overlook the anti-American bias that their stringers bring back.
