I fail to see any pro-American slant in news reporting in this country,
as it relates to Iran/Contra, Panama, etc.

If anything, the news media in this country seem to always assume the worst
motives for anything the administration does, and the government seems helpless
to change that.

While I do not favor an attitude of "My country, right or wrong", the current
tendency to assume "My country always wrong" is a bit shortsighted.

I do agree with Ruth however that the comment about government intervention
was an unwarranted snide remark -- unfortunately typical for the lack of
courtesy on this network.
