Iraqi Progress - Media-Style

Good ol' Zell Miller. He writes an op/ed in The Washington Times that defines the ridiculous media coverage of the Iraq war from the perspective of the battle for Iwo Jima in WWII. Very accurate and powerful, as usual:

Most of the slanted Iraqi media coverage is driven by outfits like Al Jazeera and their US affiliate, The NY Times. The leftist media of CBS, ABS, NBC, CNN, WaPo, LA Times, Boston Globe, BBC, Guardian, etc. paint a picture of consistent and unmitigated coalition failure in Iraq. Just another example of the arrogant, power-hungry, socialist-dominated liars in today's Old Media.

No where, even on Fox although they are not as blatantly negligent, are the positive results of the Iraqi intervention: Women in business, government, and schools, free and fair elections, rebuilt and dramatically enhanced infrastructure in electricity, water, sewage, communications, and transportation, a free press (unlike the US these days - excepting the New Media of talk radio, internet, and cable news shows like Fox, ours is owned by the leftists), elimination of torture and government killings, and on and on. For balanced coverage of the good news in Iraq, try sites like http://g2.wnd.com/ and http://asoldiersblog.com/.

Seems like a shame that only on the web can one get both sides of the Iraqi progress.
