I wish they would be less biased, maybe showing some positive things going on, don't shield us from the horrible things going on, but don't hide the positive for better ratings! I think it does a disservice to our men and women serving over seas that we don't get to see all of these things. I also think the American people would be able to form a better opinion on whether we should stay or go!

I wish the media would show some semblance of a balance. How often do you see what positive things are going on there? Hardly ever!!!!!!!! Wages have doubled or tripled, the economy is booming, the Iraqi people are have free, democratic elections (without coercion by secret police), they have a constitution, the police and army are growing despite being almost constant targets of suicide bombers, schools of ALL grade levels are being built or rebuilt, women have more freedoms, other countries have been re-establishing embassies there, oil production and infrastructure projects and usage have surpassed prewar levels, etc. I could go on and on!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why aren't these things on the front page every day.
You are darn right. If the general American public had the whole picture, there would be triple the support, quadruple maybe.

I'd like a documentry or someting that outlines properly (Not with a liberal media slant) the actual reasons for going to Iraq ie.. Oil security is key to world economic stability and it had to be done. Show people it's not about feelings it's about business and that if wasn't done there was a very extreme possibility of another "black tuesday" at the stock markets around the world that could not be recovered from.
It's true people, in 90 it could be compensated for with larger exports from other countries, but now China and India are net importers as well. Everyone is maxed out, can't slip in production or prices skyrocket out of control and we all crack each others heads open for the gooey, gooey inerds.

Some of the that I want them to show is classified and some of the positive things are considered to fall into that category. They show the bad because that is what they want people's opinions to be, humans today don't read enough and don't educate themselves enough the issues and so you get the media which shows something bad and it is assumed, that is all that happens, those are the people that watch tv over reading the newspaper, Myopic, and you also have to look at who runs the TV stations, it is all about politics and if owner of ____ station wants soldiers home and president to be in trouble then of course they only show the bad and none of the good.

I don't care about the media. I care about the world wide jihad against my country and it's allies.
Those who think that the Iraq operations have caused a rise in militant attacks are wrong.
This operation has exposed the rats for what they are, a bunch of brain washed sh!tbirds that have no clue about the rest of the world and what it means to be civilized and realistic.
The insurgents, and in particular their handlers have been cherishing this moment for a long time.
We can deal with them today, or we can deal with them tomorrow, but we WILL have to deal with them sooner or later, because this is what THEY want, not what WE want.
The media just wants ratings, and that plays into the Jihadists plans.

They do show positive stuff. . the problem is that negative news always overrates positive.
I am ex-Army and understand the argument but I also want the truth.
To answer your question, I wish the media would show more about what is going on legislatively there. We never hear about their government's development.
