I wonder why the 'leftist' media is covering this so much? hmmmmmmmmmm...maybe cvq is right, it has nothing to do with the media being 'leftist', and more to do with what sells.

Whatever gets ratings, they cover.
Back in the past, news divisions were considered a "public service," and not expected to trun a profit. That's all different now. I'm surprised they found time to squeeze it in, in between Anna Nicole and Britney coverage.
I don't believe that's the point of your question, but I thought it important to mention.

This study was done last summer by The Media Research Center.
1. CNN and MSNBC, for example, focused extensively on allegations of misconduct by U.S. forces in Iraq.
Reports about allegations of misconduct:
12 Reports by Fox News
59 Reports by CNN
36 Reports by MSNBC
2. FNC Devoted More Time to Covering U.S. Achievements: While CNN and MSNBC emphasized the negative news out of Iraq
Reports about achievements:
81 Reports by Fox News
41 Reports by CNN
47 Reports by MSNBC
What would you rather watch?

WAIT WAIT WAIT!
Don't you remember during the start of the war, the media only concentrated on the positive side?
This is just history righting itself. The Bushies had their shot and they blew it!
The American people deserve to know the truth about the mismanagement of the war, and furthermore, America's top soldier, Gen Peter Pace, has warned Congress that our military's ability to respond to another crisis is eroding because of the strain of Iraq and Afghanistan.
WE have been warned by our top soldier!

The media mostly votes Democrat (liberal) according to actual polls. Many liberals think the U.S. is the bad guy in all of this. As a result they seem to enjoy any story which might strengthen their largely Anti-American feelings. Their guilt complex knows no end.

Good question! The media never tells the side of the story about how good everything is going.
Remember, the Media is leftist allied, and like neo-libs and unions, they are in it for the money. Therefore, if it bleeds, it leads.
The media are all loosers.

Well, they would most certainly run out of material to report. What can be said about a WAR that is positive?
