Even we in the blogosphere have been surprised by the amount of bias shown lately by the mainstream media, specifically in the tremendous attention given to the actions of 20 soldiers at Abu-Ghraib, and the near-suppression of all the good news coming from Iraq.
Let me tell you my thoughts on why we have been seeing such near-hysteria from the media lately.
It’s because we’re so close to handing off Iraq to the Iraqi interim government. At that point, a great achievement by President Bush will be undeniable: the creation of a free Iraq. And there will no longer be any claim that the U.S. is bent on imperialism or occupation.
Those who oppose Bush are making a last-ditch effort to prevent his success in this case. But Iraq will be free, and it will be handed back to its own people, next month, on June 30th.
I thought Bush did a great job tonight. He spoke to the Iraqi people as much as he did to Americans. He inspired and led the peoples of both countries. My favorite line: “Iraqis can be certain a free Iraq will always have a friend in the United States of America.”
