"was hyped into a story of U.S. heroism under fire"
"But she became a national hero after media reports quoted unnamed U.S. officials as saying she fought fiercely before being captured."
The American military...
"The U.S. military also released video taken during what was portrayed as a daring rescue by special forces who raided the Iraqi hospital where she was treated. Iraqi doctors said later the U.S. operation had been over-dramatized."
The American government...
"The failure here was that the news media got to thinking the government could be trusted to reflect reality," said Carolyn Marvin, professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication.
"It no longer matters in America whether something is true or false. The population has been conditioned to accept anything: sentimental stories, lies, atomic bomb threats," said John MacArthur, the publisher of Harper's magazine.
"A spokesman for U.S. Central Command in Florida had no comment when asked about assertions that the heroism tale was seen by some critics as government propaganda."
The above is an example of non objective reporting...objective reporting was that of Deanna Wrenn's account of the home coming event and was not slanted...just a simple personal report of the home coming...no shots taken at anyone or any entity.
Reuters not only falsely attributed the story to Deanna Wrenn but "hyped the story" with all of the extraneous negative comments. This is the way I view it...if you or someone else views it differently...so be it.

what the hell are you talking about???
Being critic is being subjective?
Where's the lie in the story? (except for stating that Deanna Wrenn wrote that article) Which is wrong but doesnt affect the readers...
