More Good News In Iraq
This post goes into more detail about the turn around in Ramadi. Some argue that the reason MSM does not print much positive news on Iraq is because nobody will read it. I reject this explanation primarily because the reports I’m most likely to read are these posts. If more MSM press were to have positive stories on Iraq I would read them as made evident by the fact I always this guys posts. It’s not hard for me to imagine that many people would happily pay to read a couple of good stories on Iraq mixed in with the bad stories.
MSM reluctance to publish positively on Iraq is most certainly not a matter of turning off readers. Unless of course their readers only want to read…oh well you get the idea anyway.
By they way, this is what its all about.
The literacy class for women and girls may have been cancelled, but the local would-be students wanted me to take pictures of them at their desks. So the classroom was opened and they sat in their seats for staged photos. We had no language in common. It was just obvious, from their beckoning hand gestures, what they wanted me to do. They seemed to be proud that they were learning to read, and that women and girls were allowed to be schooled again now that Al Qaeda is gone.

LOL!!! If you agree with it, it must be truth… How is this any different than what happens in the mainstream?
This guy makes money by reporting favorable news to people that want to read favorable news because no mattter what in the hell happens they are going to support the war.
I’m now supposed to be enlightened and understand that good things are really coming out of this war? Well, no shit. I would hope there would be some progress after we spent all of that damn money and lost a bunch of american lives.

Sounds like a bunch of right wing - Pro Bush - Fox news propoganda to me . I see the real news so I know the truth of Iraq.

I know the truth because I read blogs written by those who made there mind up before we ever set foot in Iraq.

I could be wrong, but wasn’t there equal opportunity education in Iraq before we invaded? Weren’t women employed as doctors and other types of professionals?
Even if we help kick al qaeda out of Iraq, the women and girls there are still going to face way more oppession on religious grounds than they did back when Iraq was a secular state. Sorry.

Jamie,
MSM or Bloggers whats the difference. They both had their minds made up before the war started.
Darwin,
Iraq was sunshine and smiles before our invasion. I feel you on that one. Cowboy Bush screws everything up!

Yes, MSM made up their minds before the war started. They were in favor of it!
