War on Terror- the media's influence

You argue that the media is biased; yet say you don't watch liberal news. Watching only one facet of the news hardly seems like someone who could comment on media bias. Also, you say that the media as a whole negatively targets the war in Iraq, yet you watch Fox (conservative based). How would someone who watches Fox, who avidly supports the war, know what liberal news groups publish on the war? You also talk about how you have talked to people who say that Iraq is a success, etc etc. Well, as much as you seem like a honest person, first person accounts and personal accounts on information cannot be used as evidence. First off, it may be a fallacy, perpetrated by an opponent to win. This isn't to say that you are a liar, just to say that you have vested interests in winning because you believe you are right. Therefore your accounts (since they are from you) may or may not be true. To put it in perspective, if I said I knew several Iraqi's who hated the U.S., should I win the point? Well, no… because personal accounts of something don't hold the same value in a debate as real evidence. Anyway, Fox shows us ‘that view' of the war all the time. Trouble is, Fox seems to lie more than the liberal base. Could it be that Fox lies about it and CNN doesn't? Could it be the war is going badly? (This is based off the aforementioned report) You say the impact of bias in the media is lowered morale. Yet, why is that important, and where is your evidence that it is happening? If bias has been around for 400 years (a estimate) than how come nothing bad has happened from media bias. Obviously, there are no negative implications. Anyway, I would think that our troops morale stays high because of their constant chance of death and their constant chance at killing people! Oh, wait… Yeah I think our troops morale may be tinged by the Iraq war, not the media bias. You also say that we are winning the war, and that it was necessary. I disagree full heartedly. Give me one link that says we are winning the war in Iraq or the war on Terror. Also, respond to this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com... A BILATERAL REPORT that says we aren't doing well in Iraq… hmm… Also, the war wasn't in any way necessary, but that's neither here nor there. I'll cover it a bit though. We went in there for WMD's when there were none. That means the original purpose is absent in our stay. The only reason we are there is… well there are two possibilities: 1. We are there for oil (depends upon your view, but you're conservative so I won't go here) OR 2. We cannot pull out without international backlash at our figurative screwing of Iraq over. Iraq can't deal with the problems we, inadvertently, pushed upon them. Feel free to argue with some sources from biased media. (:D) Well I beleive I have won for several reasons. I have won on the points, extended my own, and the Pro side hasn't justified why media Bias has a significant negative impact. Even if the morale of America is pushed down, why is that important. For the record though, I do not agree that it is, and I demand evidence. Well it has been a good debate so far, and I'm looking forward to your responses.
