This Is A Shame
Michael Yon, about the only actual reporter in Iraq that actually bothers to cover* the war writes:
Both men often lamented to me how frustrating it was to be back home and realize that the average American is not aware of practically any of the progress that’s been made in Iraq. Both men darken with something closer to anger when they consider the sacrifices made by fallen soldiers and the fact that while the media most likely counted the deaths in all instances, they also most likely failed to mention any of the good things their fellow soldiers had accomplished while in Iraq.
Can you imagine how difficult it would be to work day and night, risking your life to Improve only to go home and see that nobody has any clue on the work you have done. This truly is an indictment on the deplorable behavior of MSM refusing to cover any of the good things in Iraq. Heres to hoping the success of Iraq will break wide open the bias coverage of MSM. I do believe Iraq will work out and when that occurs many will be alarmed by the huge disconnect of what they have been reading and what actually happened.
*By cover i mean talks about the good things and the bad things in Iraq. He is not afraid to criticize the military but he certainly also takes time to give it it’s due.
