Regarding Norman Solomon's Column on May 3

Norman Solomon's "Iraq: War, Aid and Public Relations" really hit home with me. Solomon's article brought to light the lack of trust Americans should have for our news media. As a current public relations/journalism student at a university, I have learned how to limit the bias in my story telling. "...media spin promotes the illusion that the U.S. war effort in Iraq is becoming evermore compassionate and life-affirming." This couldn't be more true. I can only hope that I am instilled with better morals and journalistic principals than those who let the government control the peoples' media.
