Pretty much the answer I expected. If you provide a few examples of "happy Iraqi" events the mainstream media actually missed, I might listen to the "evil liberal media" argument with a straight face. And I don't mean the "American soldier gives Iraqi boy a sandwich" type of stuff... I mean events that are as important as the negative ones.
