ABC News Reports GOOD In Iraq? Seems Like It

When we see the overt and blatant anti-(pretty-much-anything) American that continually spews forth from our "fair and balanced" media establishments, we often wonder will there ever be an end to it. Enter ABCNews.

Shocking, I know. But amazingly enough, ABCNews over the last couple days has actually been reporting positive momentum in the Middle East theater. To top it off, they were the ONLY ones to report such incidents. They must not be considering how much the other outlets will be despising such moves.

Just a couple of examples of some of this reporting. We'll start of with the reporting on the Iraqi Parliament. Wednesday night, ABC World News anchor Charles Gibson gave a report about Crucial Laws being passed by the Iraqi Parliament. Whilst only giving a measley 20 seconds or so to the article, Gibson related a few of the more important aspects of the story.

Gibson reported how the Iraqi Parliament managed to put aside their individual differences long enough to get a form of Budget for 2008 passed, that they managed to get a plan together for granting amnesty for a number of detainees, and they agreed on a layout of defining the relationship between the central government and the provinces. Not bad.

The following night, (Thursday) ABC World News and Charles Gibson reported, with a BIG onscreen inset, of the SURGE SUCCESS. As the article on the Media Research Center rightly opens up with, if the surge had been a failure, you KNOW the media would have been all over that. But only ABC seemed interested enough to cover a Success. The report covered some aspects as the violence in Iraq being down by over 60%, as well as reverting back to some of the previous days successes in Parliament.

I actually tip my hat to ABC for this reporting. While not giving a particularly large amount of airtime to these reports, THEY DID report them. A bold move for a media outlet these days, to go against the DailyKos/HuffPo norm.
