On several occasions, I've watched the soldiers in the chow halls shouting "Turn that crap OFF!" when CNN or MSNBC was on the screens in there.
They've been showing a lot more Sky News now, which is a little more balanced, but could still do a much better job of covering the progress that is being made here. Seems we never hear anything about that in the media.
When things get hot here and family and friends e-mail me with concern about what they're seeing on the news, I tell them "I'm OK. Turn off the TV. Just turn it off; you are not seeing a realistic picture of life over here."
More and more of our troops are coming out and publicly chastising the media for their blatantly distorted coverage of anything relative to Iraq.

Fee:
Like someone said earlier...thank GOD for this website and might I add..the Internet. The best news comes from people who've been over there and can tell you firsthand what's happening. Also from sites like OperationGratitude. I always love checking out pictures of progress and smiles on the children's faces. It makes me feel good...again...do you ever see them in the media??? NO! 'Course not.
