[QUOTE="ShadowSD:428219"]Man_of_the_Century said:[QUOTE]Have you ever thought that maybe what you think is going on over there isn't what is happening? Not everyone in the media is corrupt with a fat bank account thatnks to the government. There are people like that, I'm not going to deny it. Despite popular belief, the government does not control everything.[/QUOTE] But the government does benefit more from war deaths being concealed than they do from other deaths, which our culture feeds on for entertainment; she's got a good point there. The goverment doesn't control everything, you're right, but there are countless systems in place that can help to reinforce their viewpoint. For instance, you correctly said that another reason the media doesn't report the war deaths because the public doesn't want to hear about it, but if you think about it, that's quite a self-reinforcing cycle that benefits goverment policy. The goverment gets people behind a policy before going to war, then once the war has gotten going soldiers start dying, but no one reports extensively on that because the public doesn't want to hear that the policy they embraced caused so much death. So the public never has to think too much about the deaths, and continues to support the war. Since they support the war, they don't want to be reminded of the deaths. Since they don't want to be reminded of the deaths, they support the war. Not a goverment controlled cycle by any means, but it works out great for them, doesn't it?

Thats why you don't see too much anymore. [/QUOTE] I heard this morning on CNN that six US soldiers died in Iraq in the last day. [/QUOTE]
