I don't know, but much of the failure to get out the "good side" of the Iraq activity lies with the US military. THEY are the ones doing the good deeds, so they know what the good deeds are - why don't they advertise them more?


I only know what the military says about this. They say they do advertise good news, but the reporters are only looking for bad news. And if any reporter sends in a positive story, his editors "fix" it. Did you hear about the TIME reporter who wrote some story of combat that his editors rewrote because it made the Marines sound "too heroic"?

Besides now that the action in Iraq is no longer front page news, the MSM doesn't want to send any reporters. It's dangerous. Body counts do just as well, and are so much easier.

That's because not everyone is as gullible as you are. If they were then Iraq would look like a rousing success.

The corporate media tried that from the invasion onward. That led them to look ridiculous. You want them to continue to look ridiculous by having them cover immaterial nonsense as shallowly as possible.

Apparently you are striving to find people who will fool you time and time again. That's quite sad but typical of your shallow thought processes.
