A quick example of media manipulation: Bush on his aircraft carrier proclaimed the "major fighting" in Iraq over. Hence, the 9 Americans killed in combat operations in that country during the past week have not - to my viewing - received the many profiles and acclamations of heroism the networks gave to those killed while the war was still officially going on. This continues the pattern the Bush administration began in Afghanistan.
