I think the constant reporting of the negative in Iraq and not reporting all of the good that's happening is largely to blame. The lost media did their dirty work month after month. The people should have seen through it though. Maybe good will come of this by 2008...and I'm sure GW will want success in Iraq all the more after the election losses.
I hope everyone in FR remembers this when they are in their comfy homes and start to turn on the cable news. We have got to boycott them! Not even a peek at the headlines, no matter how curious we are. Take them all off your remote, even Fox!
