Well, I don't mind getting information directly from the government as long as its about the government. For example, I'd much rather read Bush's speeches then to read a journalist's take on his speeches. There is probably enough enformation about what they are doing in Iraq to make a channel out of it. However, the minute the administration is presenting "facts" about other things, like "what the people of Iraq think," or "what are the important events that occured in Iraq today," we've got a problem. I am worried that this is what we're going to see here.

The only question I have is why do these people need an uncritical state media when they've got fox news?
