NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Dr. Bob Arnot, author and former medical correspondent for NBC News, shared his experiences in the Middle East with attendees of PestWorld 2005.

Arnot criticized what he perceives as unbiased negative media coverage of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Specifically, Arnot says that TV news coverage has been quick to report on the challenges facing troops in the Middle East, while significantly underreporting the many heroic acts he’s seen from U.S. troops. Arnot said that he’s also witnessed many instances in which Iraqi citizens were wholly grateful for the U.S. troops.

Arnot’s speech was sponsored by FMC.

PestWorld 2005 concludes today with an all-day research symposium, where 20 of the industry’s leading researchers will offer never-before-seen presentations about the real-life applications of their latest studies.
