Focusing on the Negative


I think that Ollie North has hit the proverbial nail on the head in his coloumn about negative reporting in Iraq. The media is controlled by left-wing idealists who revel in every mistake America has ever made. They love it when America fails and hide our successes. For every death reported by the media coming out of Iraq they hide the truth about food supplies delivered to Iraqi civilians. They hide the truth about power restored to communities or new schools or vaccines being administered. The media loves to make body counts and report the grisly goings on in Iraq but, due to their own ignorance, they miss the real human story of the war. Why focus on the positive when you can dwell on the negative?
