Antidote To Reuterville's "News"

Arthur Cherekoff reports the news that other leave behind.

The good news is much underreported and not always easy to find, but clearly it's out there. Taken together with the usual Iraq coverage, it paints a much more balanced and, dare I say it, nuanced picture of a country, which is still waking up from a three-decade-long nightmare and trying against many odds to become normal.

Thank blogs. Otherwise, we might never have gotten even this little trickle of news. As John Leo said, "What's new about the press is that so many people who follow it with a critical eye now have an outlet to howl about inaccuracy and partisanship. The big media used to be able to shrug off critics like this. Now they can't."
