More From Bruce Jackson
- "War is big and there are only so many reporters and only so many places for their words and images to appear. Choices are made constantly."
- "The U.S. government has in recent years fought what it termed wars against AIDs, drug abuse, poverty, illiteracy and terrorism. Each of those wars has budgets, legislation, offices, officials, letterhead – everything necessary in a bureaucracy to tell you something is real."
- "For governments at war, the media is an instrument of war or an element in war that is to be controlled."
