How to Change the News on Iraq

The writer of this article is trying to make a point that the media should put a positive spin on their reporting's of the war.Bad situations are always better than they look and "human beings, even in the worst of times, try to go about their business and are quite heroic in their efforts to make life as normal as possible. I believe like many others that this way of thinking helped many Americans get through the events of 9/11.When they talk of the war they should see the positive aspects and not the destruction and fatalities. I feel that the war has gotten to the point were many people are not even focusing on the war as much as they once did. When the war first began it seemed everyone was glued to their televisions and reading up on the war. Now it seems people have moved on with their lives as the writer describes. I guess it is almost in our nature to adjust to events in our lives. I really liked his closing quote- "Changing the news won't change the situation. Improving the situation will change the news." It shows that we make our own news not the media.
