The document discusses the role of media in times of war from a normative and empirical perspective. It analyzes media coverage and the relationship between the media and government during WWII, Vietnam, Grenada, Gulf War I, and the Iraq War. It notes that the media often relies on official government sources and is restricted in what it can report during wars. The media's role often shifts from watchdog to being more aligned with the government perspective.
This document discusses the complex relationship between the media and the government during times of war. It provides several examples from different conflicts to illustrate how the media's role has changed over time and been influenced by the level of censorship and information control imposed by the government. While the media aims to act as a watchdog, it often relies too heavily on official sources, limiting its ability to independently question government policy. The document also analyzes how both the government and opposition parties seek to characterize media coverage and criticism of war policy as being unpatriotic or aiding the enemy.
This document discusses issues around objectivity and patriotism in war reporting. It explores how embedded journalists covering wars from within military units may struggle to maintain objectivity. Being embedded can cause reporters to develop close bonds with soldiers that cloud their judgment or prevent critical reporting. However, others argue embedding provides valuable context. Overall, there is no consensus on whether embedding helps or hinders objective reporting on wars.
This document discusses the challenges of objective and patriotic reporting on wars for journalists. It presents perspectives on how embedded reporting can influence coverage by getting journalists too close to the military units they are embedded with. Case studies show how close involvement has affected some reporters' ability to remain neutral observers and contextualize events. While public desire for patriotism may allow some slant, media balance is still important. The document argues embedded journalism can both help and hinder the nature of news reported, depending on how close the relationship becomes.

Ronald Reagan passed away at his home in California at the age of 93 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. His wife Nancy and children Ron and Patti were at his side when he died of pneumonia complicated by Alzheimer's. Reagan's death made headlines around the world, with many newspapers dedicating their entire front pages to covering his passing. Plans were announced for Reagan's body to lie in repose at his presidential library in Simi Valley, California before a burial ceremony. He was remembered for transforming the Republican party and shaping contemporary political debates through his presidency and openness about his Alzheimer's diagnosis late in life.

The lines between fact and propaganda can be blurred in conflicts, and the demands of the news cycle may impact public understanding. Overall, the document examines the complexities of reporting on wars and balancing truth-telling with safety.
An intellectually honest us military commanderAgha A
The document discusses intellectual honesty and strategic failures in the US military leadership regarding the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It notes that Generals McChrystal and Petraeus did not oppose the 2009-2012 surge in Afghanistan that led to high US casualties with no strategic advantage. A journalist described McChrystal as clueless about why the US was fighting in Helmand but launched an offensive there anyway. While 90% of US casualties were caused by Pakistani proxies, US commanders blamed Al-Qaeda and non-state Taliban groups instead of acknowledging Pakistani involvement. The document argues the surge was a failure with troops distributed without clear objectives. It praises General Dunford for his rare intellectual honesty in acknowledging Assad had strategic advantages in Syria
The document discusses strategies for tomorrow's genius, noting key skills like using technology effectively and having a positive attitude.

The document discusses the relationship between the Pentagon and Hollywood, and the extent of Pentagon influence over how the US military is portrayed in films. It notes that the Pentagon provides military resources and assistance to films in exchange for having input and approval over scripts and characters. While this has resulted in some very patriotic films, it has also led to criticisms that the Pentagon pressures Hollywood to present an overly positive image of the US military and to make historical events seem more compatible with the Pentagon's views. The relationship and Pentagon influence continues today whenever films seek the Pentagon's cooperation.

- Five US soldiers have been charged with pre-meditated murder for allegedly killing three unarmed Afghan civilians.
- A confession video shows Corporal Jeremy Morlock describing how his sergeant, Calvin Gibbs, randomly selected innocent victims and ordered Morlock and others to kill them, making it look like the civilians were killed in action.
- Morlock admits to opening fire on civilians out of fear of disobeying Gibbs' orders, saying Gibbs carried grenades to plant on the bodies and make the killings seem justified.
- The five soldiers were part of a Stryker brigade based at Fort Lewis-McChord, Washington. They face charges including pre-meditated murder, drug use,
MAJ Sherry Oehler presented on institutional failures that have allowed the recurrence of atrocities like the My Lai massacre. She discussed her research paper on the unintended consequences of killing civilians, including decreased support for US objectives and questions about military intervention. Oehler analyzed conditions in combat environments that may lead to crimes, such as ambiguous rules of engagement. She recommended research on reorganizing the DoD to better handle conflicts across the spectrum between war and peace, and on veteran support organizations and integrative medicine to improve soldier resilience and care for veterans.
President Bush gave a speech to the UN General Assembly arguing that Iraq poses a grave threat to peace and security. He warned that if Iraq continues to defy UN resolutions calling for weapons inspections and disarmament, the international community must take action. While some countries expressed hesitation about using force without UN backing, Bush said the UN must enforce its own resolutions and not allow Iraq's defiance to go without consequence. He offered to work with other nations on a new resolution setting a deadline for Iraq's compliance but made clear that if Iraq defies the resolution again, the world must act decisively against Saddam Hussein.

This document is an introduction to a book that examines America's nuclear strategy and defense policy. It summarizes the debate between "officials" who believe America should not be defended against a nuclear attack, as nuclear war would result in total destruction, and "outsiders" who argue America can and should be defended. The officials, who have shaped policy, deal in catastrophic language but have optimistic expectations that deterrence will prevent war. The outsiders focus on concrete threats and how nuclear weapons could reasonably be used, arguing America's inability to prevent destruction will undermine its ability to deter attacks. The introduction suggests professionals can become incapable of seeing new realities that contradict their established views.
Nixon's policy of withdrawing US troops from Vietnam and increasing South Vietnamese responsibility was called "Vietnamization". During World War 2, Japan ruled Vietnam. The French lost the Battle of Dien Bien Phu against the Viet Minh. The US initially supported South Vietnam under presidents Truman and Eisenhower by sending advisors and aid.
The Watergate break-in and subsequent cover-up led to Richard Nixon's resignation from the presidency in 1974, making Gerald Ford the first "accidental president." This damaged trust in politicians and influenced Jimmy Carter's election in 1976 as an outsider promising reform. In the long term, Watergate caused closer scrutiny of executive actions and labeled all political scandals with the "-gate" suffix, changing expectations of transparency and accountability.
The document analyzes tweets mentioning various US politicians from December 1-7, 2014. It finds that Hillary Clinton was mentioned most frequently, followed by Rand Paul, Chris Christie, and others. Top words used included "understand", "Obama", and "enemies". Sentiment analysis found most tweets were neutral, followed by positive and negative. Recent tweets praised Rand Paul and Hillary Clinton or criticized Chris Christie and Rand Paul.

Brandon Brown Seth Rich Conspiracy Final Project.pptxBrandon370226
This document summarizes the conspiracy theories surrounding the 2016 murder of Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee staffer. Some theorists believed, without evidence, that Rich was murdered for leaking DNC emails to Wikileaks and that the Clintons had him killed. This theory was spread on social media but lacked credible evidence. While Rich's murder remains unsolved, most experts agree the conspiracy theory is unfounded and that the facts point to his death being a botched robbery rather than a political conspiracy.

The Gaya Tumuli in Gimhae, South Korea were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List on Sunday after the World Heritage Committee recognized the site's "outstanding universal value," according to the committee. Located in Gimhae, the Gaya Tumuli contain ancient royal tombs that provide material evidence of the rare political structure and horizontal relationships between neighboring countries that existed in ancient East Asia, reflecting the diversity of civilizations at the time.
On March 17, 2011, a US CIA drone strike killed over 40 people in Pakistan who were attending a peaceful commercial dispute council meeting. Drones are unmanned aircraft controlled remotely that carry cameras, intelligence software, and missiles. Drone strikes have resulted in over 3,000 casualties in the last 10 years, including the killing of 22% civilians and less than 2% high-priority targets. This has increased terrorism and caused many social problems. There is debate between those who support continued drone use for national security and those who oppose it due to the human rights and civilian safety issues raised. Proposed solutions include increasing transparency, ending foreign drone strikes, or continuing strikes against terrorists.

Robert Kennedy was a prominent American politician who was assassinated in 1968. As the Attorney General and a presidential candidate, his political positions and actions made both allies and enemies. Some believe his battles with organized crime and opposition to figures like Jimmy Hoffa may have contributed to threats on his life. While investigations did not find evidence of direct involvement, his assassination was still viewed by many as politically motivated. Psychologically, the assassination increased anxiety in the American public and left them feeling vulnerable and uncertain about the future direction of the country without this influential leader.
Robert F. Kennedy gave a speech in Indianapolis on April 4, 1968 addressing the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. He urged the crowd to respond with love rather than violence and quoted Aeschylus about taming man's savagery. Kennedy drew on his own experience with his brother's assassination to connect with the audience and prevent riots from occurring in Indianapolis as happened elsewhere. The speech was considered very effective at the time in reducing tensions.
