The TV War
All War, All The Time. What began as a fascinating experiment in real-time war television turned into a lesson in repetion, drudgery and superficiality. At least until the fall of Baghdad. As New York Times critic Charles McGrath observes:
Within a week or so, the TV coverage of the invasion had become so confusing, so repetitive -- so boring, for the most part -- that it was almost as burdensome to turn it on as it was not to.
The Iraq War, in short, was basically a TV bomb!!
