That Iraq has disappeared from the news--save the stories of suicide bombings that, because the way they are the opposite of the way things 'should be,' are judged to be news--is a dangerous trend.

I consider the news to be political propaganda. How often do they report the death of our heroes that gave the ultimate price, compared to propaganda that is not related to what the people want to hear.
The people only want the truth, nevertheless all they care about is ratings that will benefit there own pockets then any truth.
They use propaganda to influence the outcome of elections and the bottom line is 90% of the crap they publish is just that "CRAP"... Moreover, I do not believe any of there crap! OK maybe the sports section and that is about it. How could they possibly lie about that! Then again, I would not put it past them. lol
