The media is doing it on purpose in hope to get Kerry elected
My FEAR is that the Democratics will try and STEAL the vote...and I really have to wonder with all the votes pointing to a BUSH win, most of the media either makes it clear Kerry is TIED in some polls...like they are trying to SET US UP for WHAT IS TO COME
And while some people think it isn't news to report that kids went to school and the electricity was on, when Europe was being rebuilt after the war every step forward (that we invested in heavily) was widely reported and cheered.
The good news in Iraq SHOULD be reported for the same reasons. We are all invested over there and as a basically optimistic country we would welcome hearing about the good things our money and our soldiers are doing.
