Norman Solomon, a founder and president of the Institute for Public Accuracy says there are some glaring omissions in the way some US media outlets are reporting Washington’s military campaigns abroad.“The assumption, often implicit through the media, is that Uncle Sam has a halo over his head, and he’s just trying to do really good. Sometimes he screws up, but basically the USA has the best of intentions,” Solomon said with irony.“Now, if there was no oil in Libya or Iraq, and the main export, say, was cucumbers, I don’t think the US would have invested billions of dollars in military actions,” he explained.
