I saw both the establishment media and the anti-establishment media portrayals of that famous event of Iraqis defacing statues of Hussein.

The former would say that it was happening everywhere, that it was spontaneous. The latter said they were just isolated incidents and if one was able to go to a wide-angle view, one would see that only the 20 or so Iraqis in direct view were dancing around, the rest were just standing around and some very official looking US personnel seemed to be guiding them off-camera. Ted Rall opened his written article on that very picture of the defacement of Hussein by referring to that famous WWII picture of the 5 marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima, that decades after it made history, it turns out it was a staged photograph, it was not a spontaneous act. It is however no less powerful in it's symbolism. WWII is too far away for me to feel offended by that truth.

The pictures and footage I saw did not help me decide who was right. It was ambiguous to say the least.

I would personally view everything on CNN or FOX news with some skepticism if I were you. CNN and FOX are under two conflicting pressures. It is unfair to accuse to them of failing as journalists. If they were to always tell the truth, they would make enemies powerful enough to remove them. They do the best they can within the limits imposed on them by the hand that feeds them. Be true to L'Esprit Journalisme or true to their business partners and power brokers?
