Media Bias on Iraq war

Bush said:”I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East'. And, by God, I'm gonna do it.”(MacAskill, 2005)  George Bush use media to publish the news that American will assault the Iraq, which is a righteous war and can help the Iraq get rid of dictatorship, in order to manipulate the ideology of the masses and thereby acquire more support.

In the picture, there were numerous people dying on the street, including soldiers and innocent populace. It was reported that 3,305 American servicemen and women had died in Iraq (Nouraee, 2007 ) and the number of Iraqi is still increasing now and can not be counted. As Xinhuanet (2012) covered in September, the increase of the death toll among Iraqis from violence hit the highest toll in over two years.
