Here comes the B.S. Blame the media for Iraq violence.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11947276/

"Are the images Americans are seeing from Iraq due to the level of violence or is it just the messenger? And, as President Bush suggested Tuesday at a White House news conference, are the media also being used by the insurgents?

“They're capable of blowing up innocent life,” Bush said, “So it ends up on your TV show.”

As opposition to the war rises, it's a theme amplified by Vice President Dick Cheney and conservative talk show hosts: a supposedly passive, even lazy media is focusing too much on random violence."
