Does the MSM ignore positive stories about Iraq?

Posted on 11/09/2006 11:43:59 AM PST by lesko

Are there sources that document positive stories about US forces being in Iraq? What evidence is there that the US military has improved life in Iraq? Nothing like this seems to surface from the MSM.

Search for a user named Sandrat. Read everything he posted

There are your positive stories which the Junk Media fails to report.

They have to. Positive news does not fit into their leftist agenda.

Real simple answer: YES

If you don't know the sources to look at then you haven't been paying attention.

Milblogs, such as Michael Yon are a good place to start.  Lots of the blogs linked from Captain's Quarters will give you insight.  A very good one is Iraq the Model.  The good, the bad and the never indifferent, but very reliable.

That should give you a good start.  Spend some time with them and the links they provide, then pose your question to one of them who you think really has a line on things.

What you are doing is a good thing.  We should all be working towards documenting this stuff and getting it out to everyone.  We need to make the truth the "conventional wisdom."  These people can help.
