Because its good news coming out of Iraq. Can't have that.
Iraq's ancient marshlands drained by Saddam Hussein are nearly half-restored, giving hope of saving traditional habitats for both people and animals.

Here is a story you will not read in the NYT this week.
Where is the World Wildlife Fund on this ? Why isn't this a story?

march 8, 2005: "For Iraq's Great Marshes, A Hesitant Comeback"
Congratulations to Eric and the NYT. The first story is the one I posted on.
I was wrong. I want to say that again, I was wrong.
I wonder what page it is on Eric?
The second story isn't about the marshland's restoration. The other story is from March.
I think all major news outlets have reported on higher school enrollment, non-ba'athist textbooks, vaccinations, universal healthcare and suffrage ...
But nearly every day there are suicide bombings, assassinations and attempted assassinations, attacks on pipelines, and the Iraq and coalition security forces experience losses.
That each of the above events are covered for a news cycle or so, it appears that it's mostly bad news coming out of Iraq. Because there are more newsworthy negative events than positive.
I'm not sure what would satisfy those who object to the coverage of the steady flow of bad news from the country.
