Biased reporting?


In the Darfur region of Sudan, Musa Hilal, a Janjaweed sheikh, is one of several militia men concerned about media coverage.
"I'm with president Bush", Hilal says, assembling his semiautomatic weapon. "You journalists always report only the bad stuff. Yes, we rape and kill innocent civilians. But why focus on that? Just like in Iraq, there is good news here. But you, the media, refuse to report it."
When pressed for details, Hilal fidgets. "OK, so I can't think of a good example just now. But you are reporters! The news will not come to you, you must find it!"
