There are only a few provinces that are dangerous and violent right now. The vast majority of the country is peaceful and starting to recover from Saddam and the war. The problem is the MSM stays where the action is. Their ratings would be in the toilet if they led each newscast with an economic analysis of household income of Kurds or increases in nationwide megawatt output. 'If it bleeds it leads' is the line they like to use... to deny this is to deny reality.

I don't deny this. I know this too well. But even the so called conservative press still talks about the dangers and problems of the area. Britt Hume, while downplaying all the gloom and doom will still state Iraq is not peaceful and clearly very dangerous.

If it bleeds it leads

That's a copout.

That's a lame, tired, excuse for the conduct in which the MSM is engaged. Of course, it is always true that the sexier story will get to the top. . .but that is not the WHOLE truth defining the media's behavior in Irag.

The bigger truth is that the media is engaged in wholesale TREASON pure and simple. It is not just the media focusing on certain events and excluding others. . .it is the media asserting things that are simply not true. . .i.e. the civil war ruse.

Had John Kerry won the Presidency in 2004, that is EXACTLY the stories they would be reporting.
