Brian has also never bothered to read the Iraq Study Group Report.
The White House states there are 100 daily attacks on US troops in Iraq.
The ISG's report states however this is a serious and deliberate distortion by the White
House.
There are over 1,100 daily attacks on US troops.
The situation is many times worse than the most pessimistic media reports.

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."
