WTF Is It Now?!?

Blaming the media
30 corpses found in Iraq on day of extreme violence - headline at Fox News. Oh, and it's up to 40 now.
Tensions high in Iraq after US raid kills followers of Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr - the WaComPo.
New Iraqi school painted, destroyed by car bomb - OK, blame me, I made that one up.

And there you have the GOP strategy for 2006: blame the media (again). See, the problem with Iraq is not that they're on the verge of civil war, or that around 40 people are killed every day in sectarian violence - the problem is that the media isn't reporting on all the good things going on over there.

It's not for want of trying. Two weeks ago Jake Tapper of ABC news attempted to do a lighthearted story on the production of an upcoming Iraqi sit-com called "Me and Layla." Everything was going great until the the head of the entertainment division for Iraqi TV was, uh, assassinated on his way to work.
