    Jessica Lynch and Reuters

    A free lance writer...wrote a story about the home coming of Jessica Lynch...which was a favorable and warm story about the home coming and the welcome she recieved.

    Reuters asked the free lance writer if they could run her story...and she agreed. Reuters then rewrote her story (using only one line of the orginal story) and turned it into an America bashing story. The free lance writer then asked Reuters to remove her byline and Reuters refused to do so.

    My point is...for those that are always portraying the American news media as being "biased" and "untruthful"...and that if Americans want "unbiased" and "truthful" reporting then pay attention to Reuters and the BBC. Well so much for "unbiased" and "truthful" reporting by Reuters.

    I have stated before...I am of the opinion that all news media outlets have their own "biases" built into their stories.

    This happened several days ago...so unfortunately I cannot find any links...maybe someone else can.

              as a writer - it happens all the time. Once you sell your story you better be prepared to have it editted and changed to whatever they want.

              oh, and Reuters and the BBC aren't the same thing.

                  I did not say they are the same thing...and distinctly separated the two...but both are British outlets and both are "biased"...just as any other news outlet.

                                          Not being a free lance writer...I do not know what is SOP...but it would seem to me that a rewrite should only be done with the original authors approval...and if not...it would seem to me that if the orignal author asks for their name to be removed from the re-write that should be SOP.

                                              The whole Jessica Lynch fiasco is amazingly similar to the fake Sgt. William Schumann that they created in the movie Wag The Dog.

                                              She's the token martyr.

                                              and what the fuck was she doing in Iraq anyways? She looks like an innocent little kitten.

                                              I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                              I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                                  Again...read my post...the story is several days old and I cannot find a link. FYI...I am not a fan of the President...did not vote for the President and will not vote for the President.

                                                  I am sure that others are aware of the story and will verify it...if they read this thread.
