4. First part of the show |
|
News (real news, not fluff) about what is going on in Iraq. The cease fire in Falluja, all the people fleeing the city and going to Baghdad, the Sunni and Shiha (sp) cheering and praying together (very unusual). David Wright (ABC reporter in Baghdad) said it was too dangerous for American reporters to go outside. They can call some contacts and get news from Arab reporters who can go out. He said their interpreter was at a televised meeting and identified himself when he asked a question and said he worked with ABC TV. He didn't think before he said it. Now he is afraid for his life and David Wright said they were all afraid for his safety.
Second part of the show
A comparison of Arab vs. American/Brittish news coverage of Iraq. Showed how Arab television is biased, but also how US/UK TV is as well.
Last part got me choked up. It was real, graphic, in your face coverage of what's going on right now. Audio from soldiers and reporters on the ground in the fighting over photos and film. War is hell.

5. This show would be worth buying |
|
The tape is available from ABC for $29.95. This was the most in-your-face coverage of what's going on in Iraq I have seen. I wish Nightline would do re-runs. Everyone should see it. Link to order the tape: http://www.abcnewsstore.com/store/index.cfm?fuseaction=customer.product&boutique=&product_code=N040409%2001&category_code=HOME
