Well, I lap up these good news stories like milk, and I'm sure many others do too. Stories that anger are probably more likely to get comments than stories that report good news.

I'm sticking a bookmark in this one because it's so well-written and detailed, and because it mentions the results of the Marine's polling in Najaf.

Over the past week, the New York Post has run quite a few "good news" stories and stories critical of the media's quagmirist, failurist slant. It seems to be making an effort towards balancing things and pointing out the misleading incompleteness of the reporting on Iraq.

I'd tend to agree, but that's what translates into better ratings for the bad news.

Hey, I love these feel-good stories as well. I just wish they'd get more exposure.
