5. Cheney & co pressure the media

6. Dead Iraqis? They're hardly ever mentioned, so they don't exist. nt

7. This information contradicts the accepted narrative

for the latter half of 2007 -- "The Surge is having limited success." Casualties and violence are trending downward, even if a given week's death toll goes up.

I have lost all patience with progressives who expect anything but pack journalism/propaganda from the MSM.
