They are taking this monumental, earth moving event, and turning it into a ho-hum event with their lack of coverage.
My only hope is that the American people are paying enough attention to see that the progress being made in Iraq is stunning, and that the media's near black out of the event will be seen for what it really is..........a hatred of this President that has no limits.
You are absolutely right.
I made it a point to be home in front of the t.v for the Sunday news shows. I was late--half an hour into Fox News Sunday, just in time for the panel, and then caught the last half-hour of MTP.
I was expecting a lot of coverage of the Iraq vote. Instead I was treated to a lot of inside-the-beltway speculation on Judith Miller and Karl Rove (honestly, do people outside Washington care about this? No, they don't, not unless the media hypes it), and then, on MTP,. an interview with Louis Freeh (which was very interesting).
But still... there is a major event going on, they can devote endless ink/air time to bad news, but when there's good news going on? You have to search for it.
I do think that with email, and better communications, that those on the front lines can communicate with those back home. Thank Goodness! Otherwise, everyone would be completely demoralized.
Anyway, all the best to you and yours, OhioWfan. :)
