Michael Yon : Online Magazine: Montage Or Mirage: "The first from an un-attributed source, perhaps even a work of propaganda, shows people at their best, braving terrorists to vote in Iraq, then dipping their fingers in the purple ink, and smiling with pride, strength and hope.

The second montage by MSNBC, linked below, conveys the ultra-violence of nature against man, the cruelty of man against man, and helps explain why we want the world to be more like the impression we are left with after the “propaganda” montage. And yet, as someone who was out there experiencing some of what was depicted in both slide shows, it’s important to add that both are accurate in what they portray, while each is confined in scope. The difference is subtle, perhaps purely rhetorical. But the consequent impact, and how it influences public opinion, is something closer to cataclysmic."

The best propaganda is "true" -- but not the whole truth. Only one side. Like the MSM anti-Bush, anti-American, anti-progress spin.

We are making progress; the world is getting better. The anti-Bush spin is getting worse; but I hope Bush is starting to call it as it is.
