They feel the media is not being objective and not covering alot of the good/progress that is being made all around Iraq.

Am I the only person who would be really disturbed if the media was simply cheerleading?
Like I said earlier, the media's job isn't to be "fair and balanced", it's to tell the truth. There are many, many bad things happening in Iraq every day that don't make the news, just like there are many good things happening in Iraq every day that don't make the news.
Here's a blog that details everything that happens in Iraq everyday:

It's stunning how many bombings there are, how many people are killed, etc that don't make the news.
The internet is the place to get news anymore anyway. I certainly agree with this guy that the mainstream media has failed us, I just feel that way for different reasons.
