It's certainly encouraging that Americans can see straight.  With that much clarity the only thing to do is to wage more and bigger war.

Subject: [lit-ideas] Poll: Majority Believe Iraq Coverage Biased

"According to the Gallup News Service, a December survey of a representative sample of 569 adult Americans revealed that fully 56 percent believe that major news media coverage of the situation in Iraq is generally inaccurate while only 4 out of 10 Americans agree that it is accurate.

"Moreover, the survey showed that by a 61 percent to 36 percent margin, those who feel that the Iraq coverage is inaccurate say it is because the media make the situation there appear worse than it actually is."

Media Research Center has also released a report from ten weeks of monitoring cable news and found CNN and MSNBC to be much more pessimistic and negative about the Iraq war, and sensationalizing of U.S. wrongdoing.  But then again I'm sure they are just the "realists."
