"When I got to work Wednesday, e-mail messages were flooding my inbox calling me everything but Peter Arnett," she wrote, referring to the former TV reporter who was fired after giving an interview to Iraqi state TV."

Looks like we are back to "perceptions" cultivated by US media and when an "opposing side" dares to conflict, some are clearly living in dumbo world and find this in some way offensive.
Odd samples:
Quote:

"was hyped into a story of U.S. heroism under fire"
|
There is no doubt that this was hyped. The same as the story about the young boy who lost limbs... he was hyped and "coming to America" for treatment till he told the Press "I don't want to go there, - these people killed all my family".

"But she became a national hero after media reports quoted unnamed U.S. officials as saying she fought fiercely before being captured."
|
It is no secret that she did not "empty her gun", but was involved in a collision between her vehicle and the one in front which was under attack.
These "unnamed US officials" are the people who feed the garbage to papers like the Charleston Daily Mail and the brain dead believe them to be true.
There is a wide gap in the US perception of this world and the actual real life world. There is nothing in the two sample quotes above which is either incorrect or "biased".
