The Iraqi government is throwing Fox News out of Iraq, apparently in
retaliation for the U.S. government’s expulsion of a
correspondent for the Iraqi News Agency (INA) for
engaging in actions “harmful to U.S.
interests.”
Since the INA is owned and operated by
the Iraqi government, it would seem that the more logical
form of retaliation would be the usual one — the
expulsion of U.S. government officials rather than
American private citizens.
In view of Fox News’s “fair and balanced
coverage,” however, which favors the U.S.
government’s position on Iraq and includes many U.S.
army generals who are invited to appear and offer their
“objective” viewpoints in favor of invading
Iraq, perhaps the Iraqi government can be forgiven for
assuming that Bill O’Reilly and the other Fox
correspondents actually
work for the U.S. government.
