Mass Media

I am so sick of seeing lies on the news about the progress that is being made and the peace that this progress is fighting for. I am hoping that after the Mayor’s speech tonight people will be able to ask questions. I doubt this will be the case. It usually isn’t. But I would really like to ask what specifics aspects of Morganhdad life shows signs of progress and peace? Is it all the dead bodies I see everyday? Is it a curfew starting at 8? Is it military men on every corner constantly stopping everyone and asking them for identification? Is it everyday bombings or on a good day just an afternoon shooting? Because the last time I checked all these things were signs of war, conflict, and destruction and definitely not signs of progress.
