If your statement elucidates the question, why the L/MSM does not provide a balanced view of how many good things have happened in Iraq during the SASO phase. I think it is has a simple answer.
Answer: They are fearful that Americans may get the idea that what GWB started, may bear good fruit. They fear greatly that a strong Republican POTUS took the proper route, and that any good news counters what the slimmy liberal left politicians keep trying to do. That is. Make GWB look bad. Why? Because they have an agenda, and that is to deceive by whatever means Americans into wanting to elect liberal left wingers to the presidency. So why does the L/MSM constitute a body of deceiving often far left liberal social point of view? Tis a very long story.
WHY? Always a good question.
Why the media only shows the "bad" news? Laziness, It's just to easy for them to sit in the "Green Zone" and send back "sexy photos" and stories about how things are going down hill.
Then there's the old "If it bleeds it leads" school of reporting, once again this does not require a whole lot of work on the part of a reporter.
I could talk about the bias fo the MSM but I don't think we need too say anything about that as it's pretty much a given.
Thank goodness for the blogs for setting the record straight on Iraq.
