Surely there has been improvement for the citizens in some areas of Iraq. We have been on holiday for two weeks where there were no newspapers and no TV News. Just occasionally it would be interesting to read a report on a good deed just to lighten the day. So depressing! I am glad that there was no TV during the last War when I was growing up. It would have been horrific.

I work for an online news service, and in our little corner of the news world our content is driven largely by reader demand. When we run "happy" stories, they draw very, very low pageviews. Run a story like the awful one about the woman allegedly killing her friend and cutting the baby from her womb and killing three children and it runs HUGE. It's sad, and it depresses me daily, but it's the "car wreck" reflex. The same urge that makes people look to see what they can see.

If anyone believes the So Called Liberal Media is not reporting the good news. I challenge them to get a video camera, they're cheap fly to Jordan get a car and head into Iraq. Travel around the country by yourself, no massive military convoys for protection and then bring back the good news.
I'm sure their is something good happening between 100 Iraqs a day being killed in Baghdad.
Luck to you all

However i share some of your sentiments with regard to positive things happening there, which has been neglected to some extent by some media houses. for eg Oraq had expirienced a new era of democray where for teh first time where the peopl coulg to to the polls and elect a leaderfor themeselves.

regrettably the situations are ''no longer so super''. human beings want to pay attention the certainty in spite of what the content cloth is, additionally while the media gets in contact the political technique is forced to react. that is why it is so significant to have the liberty of uncensored unfastened speech. The Iraq war is an surprising occasion of what can take place while the media is close out from the certainty. We have been all lied to and that they have got been given away with it.

The media don't like good news. They only want to report bad news. It sells more newspapers.

Folks watch the news for entertainment. And good news is boring and no one believes in good news there's always a catch to it, usually publicity driven.
