I think the "right" misunderstands the nature of news. This is specifically regarding the reporting of violence in Iraq. The right will say, they're not telling us the good things that are happening in Iraq.

If a plane takes off in Chicago and safely lands in New York -- that's not going to make the news. If it crashes, then it's going to be on the front page. Now, is that mainstream media bias when they don't tell us about safe landings? Generally speaking, "good things" that happen isn't news.

Listening to Rush Limbaugh compain about the "drive by media" is like listening to someone complain that the sky is blue. It's just the way it is (to quote Cronkite).

Deal with it.
