Is there any chance in hell the media will report this...?

Question

headline:
Iraq PM tells Bush of 'dazzling successes' in Baghdad
yahoo wont either....their heads are too far up Pelosi's butt to even know

Answer 1

Judging on past performance by the liberal drive-by media ..If anyone does mention it - it will be on the back page of the weekend newspaper in a tiny mention at the bottom of a page ..
As per business as usual with the biased left ..good news is no news .

Answer 2

That is why everyone should listen to talk radio for their news that does not get reported by the liberal media. Most people in this country seem to be in the dark about the true news of the day even now, but it would be far worse if we did not have conservative talk radio and Internet sources.

Answer 3

over statements often make the news ,
under reported is the truth
what is the real truth?
bush supported one party
just as howard supports one party
just as indonesia supports one islland
its the neo of all beliefs that colude to oppress the poor af any belief
the ritch getting ritcher
the poor get shafted ]
no the media wont reveal the truth
cause the truth is more than we can handle

Answer 4

Pelosi smiles like she has someones head up her butt, now I know why. To answer your question, it is imperative to the future of the Democrat Party that the war in Iraq is lost. Need I explain further?

Answer 5

I found 217 related stories on Google News. Everyone is reporting it, from the New York Times to KWWL in Iowa.

Liberal media my foot.

Answer 6

Doubtful.

Answer 7

If they do I'm sure they will throw in their usual, "however", or "but". And throw in quotes from their anonymous sources in the Pentagon denying any good really happening.

Answer 8

That's because the successes are dazzlingly dismal. You think things have gotten so much better in Bhagdad? Buy yourself a plane ticket.

Answer 9

Here's a like item from Victor David Hanson that you may find interesting. Bias and liberal media will never tell the true stories.


Subject: Doesn't fit the Liberal agenda

This article was submitted by Victor David Hanson. His bio is at the end of the article.

War-torn Iraq has about 26 million residents, a peaceful California perhaps now 35 million.
The former is a violent and impoverished landscape, the latter said to be paradise on Earth. But how you envision either place to some degree depends on the eye of the beholder and is predicated on what the daily media appear to make of each.

As a fifth-generation Californian, I deeply love this state, but still imagine what the reaction would be if the world awoke each morning to be told that once again there were six more murders, 27 rapes, 38 arsons, 180 robberies, and 360 instances of assault in California -yesterday, today, tomorrow, and every day. I wonder if the headlines would scream about "Nearly 200 poor Californians butchered again this month!"

How about a monthly media dose of "600 women raped in February alone!" Or try, "Over 600 violent robberies and assaults in March, with no end in sight!" Those do not even make up all of the state's yearly 200,000 violent acts that law enforcement knows about.

Iraq's judicial system seems a mess. On the eve of the war, Saddam let Out 100,000 inmates from his vast prison archipelago. He himself sat in the dock months after his trial began. But imagine an Iraq with a penal system like California's with 170,000 criminals - an inmate population larger than those of Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Singapore combined.

Just to house such a shadow population costs our state nearly $7 billion a year - or about the same price of keeping 40,000 Army personnel per year in Iraq. What would be the image of our Golden State if we were reminded each morning, "Another $20 million spent today on housing our criminals"?

Some of California's most recent prison scandals would be easy to sensationalize: "Guards watch as inmates are raped!" Or "Correction officer accused of having sex with under-aged detainee!" And apropos of Saddam's sluggish trial, remember that our home state multiple murderer, Tookie Williams, was finally executed in December 2005…... 26 years after he was originally sentenced.

Much is made of the inability to patrol Iraq 's borders with Iran , Jordan , Kuwait , Saudi Arabia , Syria , and Turkey . But California has only a single border with a foreign nation, not six. Yet over 3 million foreigners who sneaked in illegally now live in our state. Worse, there are about 15,000 convicted alien felons incarcerated in our penal system, costing about $500 million a year. Imagine the potential tabloid headlines: "Illegal aliens in state comprise population larger than San Francisco!" or "Drugs, criminals, and smugglers given free pass into California!"

Every year, over 4,000 Californians die in car crashes - nearly twice the number of Americans lost so far in three years of combat operations in Iraq. In some sense, then, our badly maintained roads, and often poorly trained and sometimes intoxicated drivers, are even more lethal than IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices.) Perhaps tomorrow's headline might scream out at us: "300 Californians to perish this month on state highways! Hundreds more will be maimed and crippled!"

In 2001, California had 32 days of power outages, despite paying nearly the highest rates for electricity in the United States. Before complaining about the smoke in Baghdad rising from private generators, think back to the run on generators in California when they were contemplated as a future part of every household's line of defense.

We're told that Iraq's finances are a mess. Yet until recently, so were California's. Two years ago, Governor Schwarzenegger inherited a $38 billion annual budget shortfall. That could have made for strong morning newscast teasers: "Another $100 million borrowed today - $3 billion more in red ink to pile up by month's end!"

So is California comparable to Iraq? Hardly! Yet it could easily be sketched by a reporter intent on doing so as a bankrupt, crime-ridden den with murderous highways, tens of thousands of inmates, with wide-open borders.

I myself recently returned home to California, without incident, from a visit to Iraq's notorious Sunni Triangle. While I was gone, a drug-addicted criminal with a long list of convictions broke into our kitchen at 4 a.m., was surprised by my wife and daughter, and fled with our credit cards, cash, keys, and cell phones. Sometimes I wonder who really was safer that week.
