Comments on: Stuffing the Good News http://patterico.com/2004/04/29/stuffing-the-good-news/ Harangues that just make sense Wed, 09 Jul 2008 03:46:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: m.croche http://patterico.com/2004/04/29/stuffing-the-good-news/#comment-1811 m.croche Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 /?p=1482#comment-1811 What disingenuous bilge. In case Patterico has forgotten, a whole lot of Americans have died in Iraq. 10 new deaths announced just today. Americans, especially those with loved ones or friends in Iraq, are going to be much more concerned about the rising tide of anti-Americanism in Iraq. Because tea-sipping just doesn't appear to be working all that well, now, does it? If Patterico truly believes the good news is being underreported from Iraq, I suggest he volunteer to do some NGO work over there. He can report back to us just how excellent things are. P.S. According to what kind of mindset is the fact that the lieutenant et. al. required 15 troops to protect in case of ambush "good news"? I thought major combat operations had finished nearly a year ago? What disingenuous bilge.

Croche is commenting on political stuff again. . . I like him better when he sticks to musical commentary. He's less insulting that way. But he is starting to look more like a regular reader with each passing day, his denials notwithstanding. The point is not that everything is hunky-dory. Obviously, it is not. But many good things are indeed underreported. Uh-oh. Croche is commenting on political stuff again. . . I like him better when he sticks to musical commentary. He’s less insulting that way.
