AP: Iraq Glass Half Full, Of Poison
Thu March 3rd, 2005 10:55 MSTThe AP, like most of the MSM, needs to consistently show the Iraq war in the worst possible light. Hence, in spite of the very significant good news that the US loss rate since Jan 30th has dropped significantly, they report The number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq has topped 1,500, a top headline but a totally artificial and insignificant news story (why not “topped 1536″ or 1492?).
The loss of 54 troops was “down sharply” from January.
When it comes to Iraq and the Main Stream Media, the glass is always half empty, and that’s the good news! The bad news is the glass was full of poison.
