I thought “No News” was good news

So one of the current right-wing mantras is that the media is ignoring all the good news that’s supposedly happening in Iraq. You know what’s funny to me about that? The media doesn’t even cover good news in this country. Watch local news or look on the front page of any newspaper and what do you see? Fires, car crashes, death, natural disasters… fear, fear, FEAR! I mean, we’re not losing 30 people a day to random suicide bombings in this country, and still there’s nothing in the news but doom and gloom. “If it bleeds, it leads” is the American Way of Journalism. Why is that going to be any different with Iraq?

  1. Joe Kennedy - Eastside Business

    Well, if I didn’t know better, I would agree with you Stuart.

    We are a small, regional, monthly business paper, but we work hard to keep everything in Eastside Business on the positive side. We promote businesses on the Eastside.

    Our website is in “transition” (challenges with Joomla and designers), but check it out if you want to read positive news. Subscriptions to the print edition are available.

    Read and demand Good News!
