    I'm not the one defending a Townhall article...

    I repeat, the vast majority of civilian casualties due to sectarian violence go unreported in televised media. This is a basic fact. The media isn't covering 62 Iraqi deaths a day.

      That is nice Ramo, but you are the only one talking about that.

      The rest of us are talking about why this newsworthy story was not covered, or why its okay to grossly mischaracterize bad news but not okay to simple present positive news at all.

            Bull****. Positive news is covered at appropriate times; when it means something. This doesn't mean ****. It's not newsworthy. Period.

              If this is positive news, the situation's gotta be pretty dire.

                All pro-Iraq War reports start like that with usually a mention of Demorats and Hillary Clinton being the devil incarnate.

                    Wherever you live, does the local water/sewer utility call you up to let you know about the sewer system not overflowing and the water still working?

                    What's the point of reporting how many Iraqis are holding hands singing Kumbaya around the campfire in the land of sweetness and light? If it's that great, why are we still there?

                    Ahh, it's because of the *******s blowing people up and other little minor disturbances...

                      I guess a lot of people don't. It just seemed strange coming from aneeshm because he often engages in political discussions.

                        Because since you and Ramo believe the place is the 3rd ring of hell currently, something like that would be the exception, right? Its your own position that on the overall situation that justifies this report most.

                          I'm sure their position is backed by evidence.

                            I am glad you are sure Iraq is the resting place for the worlds gluttons.

                            So you agree then, that this is exeptional news that deserves reporting?

                              I'm sure that most Iraqis would dance on your grave. Does that answer your question?
