I see ABC has gotten there WH orders to report only positive stories on the successes of Iraq. But thank goodness we have CBS and NBC who continues to give honest reports on Iraq.

1. Um - evidence?
Examples? Compare contrast? Are you talking about the ABC website or TV or both?

I usually like ABC ok, and I don't think it differentiates itself much at all from the other stations.. ?

3. MSNBC is the worst
I heard Nachman on there a week or so ago saying that they were going to show more of the "successes" in Iraq. That's about the same time that they started the series of reports from Dr Bob Arnot showing all the "positive" things happening in Iraq...which were so obviously staged they were pathetic.

Nachman, I believe, is the managing editor of MSNBC news. The troops are dutifully following his marching orders.....

5. Can't speak for ABC tonight, but
If you are referring to the network "news" shows, the CBS Iraq reporting looked pretty grim (for the Regime) this evening. NBC would need to show me something in the way of honest reports. Brokaw turned into a Reagan Symp sometime around 1984, for my money.

:argh:

6. ABC led with it. ... Looked like next year's "in" travel destination.
I couldn't believe what I was viewing.

BTW, BBC did an excellent job today. They led with the chaos.
