Your referring to propaganda. It has always been important to keep the people on your side, especially during times of war or pre-war. It was Goebbels that said something like 'bringing the people to the bidding of the government is easy, all you do is tell them they are being attacked and accuse the pacifists of being unpatriotic, it works the same in any country.
Our governments do not want the people up in arms about foreign wars. The media is just another branch of the government and will only give out information about negative stories if they have no choice i.e a neutal media group has shown the story already.
I prefer to look at Reuters for my news, I dont like or trust BBC, Sky, Fox or CNN.
