Analysis:

This story fails to consult any sources to verify President Bush's claims about the situation in Iraq. Does President Bush provide any proof that "terrorists" and "former regime elements" are behind the violence in Iraq? The viewer would not know based on this excerpt, nor does WOOD TV 8 provide any independent investigation of this claim.

Story:

WOOD 8 Newsreader - President Bush blames Saddam Hussein for much of the violence in Iraq-not the US presence there. In his third speech in Iraq this month, he said insurgents are using Saddam's tactics as they kill and terrorize Iraqis and exploit sectarian divisions.

Bush - Today, some Americans are asking why Iraqi people are having such a hard time building a democracy. The reason is that the terrorists and former regime elements are exploiting the wounds inflicted under Saddam's tyranny.

Dissecting the Local News

Dissecting the Local News is designed to provide ongoing examples of 1) how to think critically about how news is reported; 2) to demonstrate how commercial news provides almost no useful coverage that would allow the public to make informed decisions about what is happening in their community, and 3) to show how local news reporting would rather entertain the public than hold both political and economic power accountable.
