>http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/09/business/09bankruptcy.html "The Senate on Tuesday first defeated an amendment that would have prevented violent protesters at abortion clinics from using the bankruptcy laws to shield themselves from judgments awarded in civil lawsuits. That amendment, which lost by a vote of 53 to 46, had threatened to derail the legislation. The senators then voted 69 to 31 to limit debate and cut off any effort to kill the legislation by filibuster" I hate these people. -Z

I don't get these comments. I posted the link more for the list of military blogs than to endorse its comments. Secondly, there isn't a lot of positive coming out of Iraq Positive things have happened in Iraq but minor bits of good news aren't considered as newsworthy as an explosion that kills an American or that kills 20 Iraqis. Your right that this has more to do with the fact that negative news is considered more newsworthy by the media than it has to do with anything else, still I don't think its silly to see bias in the reporting.
