The GayPatriot posts, If Iraq is like Vietnam, how come the rallies keep getting smaller?
Good question. It's something I noticed yesterday when I was watching the C-SPAN coverage of the event. The camera panned out over the crowd clusters of people and I wondered where were the thousands of people I had read about?
Are more and more people really against the war (as the polls seem to indicate) or are they just tired of bad news?
How many people would watch the Olympics if all the news coverage for it was about who lost, was disqualified, or was injured instead of who won? Focus on the failures instead of the victories and then do a poll to see how many people think that international sports competition seemed like a good idea but it just isn't working.
School teachers and business managers know that while you have to confront problems you also have to recognize achievements. So, are journalists too stupid to understand the importance of covering what is going right in Iraq or do they just hope we're too stupid to notice that they seldom do it?
