THE sanitised TV coverage of the war is nauseating. It is being treated as entertainment not news.

We are shown huge explosions from cruise missiles and bunker-busting bombs, but do not see what they are doing to the Iraqis.

So far more than 200 Iraqi civilians have been killed, yet there has been hardly any mention in our media. At least with the Internet we can search out the facts from media sources in other parts of the world, rather than be spoon-fed by the British media.
