What's in it for the media to report good news. Who's going to tune into CNN to watch Iraqi's lead normal, uneventful lives? Not too many people.

How do you report on women who are NOT being raped? Do you show a woman going through the motions of a typical, boring life?

How do you create a story about mass graves that are NOT being created today?

One of the reasons why I like to watch Charlie Rose is that he shows all sides. He has reporters on who normally report the doom and gloom, and when asked if life is better today in Iraq, they all say yes.
