Is patriotism generally blind in the world?
Look at the Iraq War, up to today some Americans still think that they invaded Iraq because of 9/11 and Saddam has WMDs....
Look at the Chinese calling for boycott of Carrefour because it's under LVMH which had "donated a lot of money to the Dalai Lama" and some French supported Tibetan separatists during the torch relay in Paris....
What is "good" patriotism?
Does praising your own government when they did something good for the country and people, and criticing own government when they make a mistake make one a "good" patriot?
Should patriotism override a person's morality?
Eg. WWII Japan and Nazi Germany....
Look at the Iraq War, up to today some Americans still think that they invaded Iraq because of 9/11 and Saddam has WMDs.
That is due to lack of propaganda telling them the truth in the mainstream media there.
Most TV networks in USA are too busy with local news to bother with foreign affairs, so the americans are ignorant and also uninformed.
Some like Foxnews like to spread right wing propaganda, so many become misled.
That is why I say TV is not a good medium for news coverage.
