I agree with you! This article in the NYT comes out 3 days after their article about concerns about not reporting the full story in Iraq. The information is out there - the Dept of Defense releases updates daily. The Associated Press actually admitted that they had not heard of most of the positives in Iraq - schools, water, electricity, etc.
Go over to this post...

and see what the AP and other newspaper editors said about reporting the positives...
Maxine Waters actually said that broadcasting the good news from Iraq would dishonor the soldiers that died in the war.
Until WE demand truth and honesty from the media, we're gonna keep getting the same crap!
