MEDIA WATCHED
John Howard gets it:
Perhaps the most convincing sign of all that some progress has been made is the significant decline in media coverage of Iraq – noticeable both in the United States and Australia. The dominant left-liberal elements in the media in both our countries apparently cannot bring themselves to acknowledge good news stories coming out of Baghdad.
You’d think Media Watch might investigate this phenomenon. Oh, that’s right; they already did.
UPDATE. Michelle Grattan and the Age profess themselves stunned by Howard’s speech, which essentially only restates his political beliefs. Headline: “No holds barred as ex-PM lashes out.”
UPDATE II. According to the ABC, Howard’s mild speech was bitter, scathing and strident. Delicate little flowers.
