The US media veered between the cheerleading announcers and the embeds, who magnified any little firefight that they were personally witnessing into the Battle of the Bulge.

Definitely did not give the impression of a cakewalk all the way through. Definitely did give a more accurate impression than the BBC's promised quagmires.

The BBC's two or three sides tended to give: Iraqi suffering, coalition setbacks, and Arab regime seething and whining, take your pick. However they omitted the most important side: that the coalition was winning fast and skillfully.

Again, shouldn't we all count this as a black mark against a news organization?
