maybe the media will figure out that we are not the enemy and stop carrying jack murthas water."""

Or, in the alternative, maybe some freepers who blame the media for "not reporting all the good stuff in IRaq," might start to understand that Iraq is still a chaotic place and it's DANGEROUS to venture out in search of all this supposed "good stuff" that's happening.

So it's dangerous. They don't seem to be bothered by the danger when they report the negative stuff, they should be reporting the positive stuff as well.

Of course we don't know that they aren't reporting some of the good stuff and that it ends up in the bit bucket, or "The Spike". (allusion to the novel of the same name by Arnaud De Borchgrave and Robert Moss. De Borchgrave was wounded several times as a reporter in Vietnam. A theme of the book is how the editors decide which news is "fit to print". Nothing which harms the anti American Cause. BTW, he's Flemish not French )
