No, not a regular feature, but Atrios has some good videos linked up and I wanted to show all of you.
Here they are. The first is a video about some weird video doctoring on the White House web site:
The other video is from CNN’s Reliable Sources with Howard Kurtz. After starting out with the typical “the troops resent the media coverage,” Kurtz talks to CNN’s John Roberts who just came back from Iraq. Roberts provides a different perspective, where the violence is worse than what we see or appreciate via U.S. media coverage. I recommend that you watch the foreign press now and again. You’ll be surprised at the differences in tone and quality of coverage.
Enjoy.
Update: The first video is wrong. It’s a black box that’s inserted by the captioning software. The explanation of why it was considered doctored didn’t sound all that likely, but I didn’t know enough to say so. It’s why I left it with little commentary.
