[icernet] Media war

[Arul Selvan]

  As the world prepares for the US invasion of Iraq, the role of the 
media is being hotly debated in a variety of websites and newspapers 
with the US media being roundly criticised for becoming 
a mouthpiece of 
the Pentagon and the White House
. If the Gulf War of 1991 was the 
worlds first television war, the Kosovo conflict was the worlds first 
internet war, the second Gulf War  as the expected Iraq invasion is 
being termed  will be a war fought before an intensely competitive 
media. Present day competition for news might make war reportage more 
professional but it may also spur the race for competitive sensationalism.
