We heard nothing but bad news from Iraq for years, every day. Every explosion, every suicide bomber, every shooting -- for years. There has never been a war covered like the Iraq War.

Sure, reporters tend to hover around the safest areas when possible, but some were out in the midst of it. I can remember FNC reporters walking around Sadr City when it was at its worst; but where they were had to do with where they felt comfortable going not where the military said they could and couldn't.

Today, when the coverage SHOULD be extensive, they've packed up and gone home. Nobody wants to report on a war that we've won.

Media coverage in Iraq was unprecedented.

Yeah... the green zone was covered like a blanket.


.....except for the times when missiles were fired at it.....then there was a news blackout.
