Is Nothing Good Happening in Iraq?

Is Nothing Good Happening in Iraq?

Even USA Today is reporting that news from Iraq is ridiculously negative.
Naturally, the reporters deny that there is an ideological motivation for their reporting.

Reporters agree on this much: Bad news -- not good -- sells.

''It's the nature of the business,'' Time's Brian Bennett says. ''What gets in the headlines is the American soldier getting shot, not the American soldiers rebuilding a school or digging a well.''

You mean, news is a business? I thougt it was a public service.
