It's because the negatives outweigh the positives in numbers and in
import. D'oh.

I don't agree with that. When the war started, just about everything
that
was happening was positive. However, CBS *still* managed to find enough
bad
things to fill 49% of their reports. Even when the positives far, far
outweighed the negatives, CBS gave each equal time. Why don't they do
the
same now?

That must be because you consider engaging in war a positive endeavor.
At least half the country thought it was a mistake.

Uh-oh. More proof jps is wrong:

AP Poll Finds Majority Back War in Iraq

WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans think the war in Iraq was the right decision by
a 2-1 margin and are more inclined to approve of the job done by President
Bush in foreign policy and terrorism following the capture of Saddam
Hussein, an Associated Press poll found.

Duh Doc, this is current news and you were talking about "when the war
started..."

Today is different from six months ago and six months from now people
will again have a different take on the war...

It's like you got to the crime scene six months later and tried to take
a photo of evidence that's been swept away months earlier.

Not logical doc.
