To answer the topic :
In France, the big 20:00 news thoroughly showed the cheerful shias of Saddam City as well as the Kurds from Erbil, but also showed a few disgruntled Iraqis, and unenthusiastic ones, who are only worried about their immediate future. We could also see the Basrans nearly not caring of the fall of Saddam, because of the water shortages and pillages.
An American Captain has been interviewed, and he said usual US-Army PR.
A journalist in Baghdad explains how the Iraqi "guides" from the ministry of Information have fled in the past day, and how he experienced the collapse of the regime.
A short report was about big Iraqi personalities whose whereabouts were unknown : Saddam & Sons, Tariq Aziz, the ministry of Info.
Euronews among other news (mostly good), shows a crippled child, to recall what is behind the shameful word "colateral damage".
I am overall pleased with the media coverage I could see in France today. There have been a few occurences where the big Channels spilled some anti-Americanism, but today it seemed really unbiased

The big story in the Arab world right now is how sudden the fall was. Granted, there is still a lot to do... but the Arab media seemed shocked by the lack of Iraqi Military, and the fall of Baghdad... They've been saying all along that Baghdad would stand for a long time, and the quick turnabout today has them wondering about their own broadcasts... |
Some time ago, I posted a thread on a survey conducted by CBS of the widespread belief in the Arab world about how 4,000 Jews stayed home the morning of 9/11/2001. Virtually everyone believed it, even though a person of average caution would question whether the story was a rumor or fact. The reason they believed it was that it was reported as fact by both al Jazeera and other Arab media. The people on the Arab street believed these reports rather than CNN or other western media who they viewed as biased liars.
So today they have incontroverable evidence that Arab media has been lying to them on the course of the war, on the strength of Saddam's army, and most of all, on an inherent nationism of the Iraqi people that would cause them to fight the invaders for love of Allah and Iraq even if they hated Saddam.
Hopefully, this sudden realization will cause a seachange in the region. Arabs may hereafter suspect Arab media who are reporting stories wildly inconsistent with what Western media are reporting.
But most of all, they may now reassess everything their media has been reporting about America and its intentions. They will of course remain suspicious of what American ultimately intends. But they may no longer believe that America's only purpose for invading was to conquer, colonize and steal.

LOL--Wishful thinking Ned--they will have a new spin on it by tomorrow--some of the Apolytoners here have already--you have to give it some time.
