Why Isn't The Media Talking About The War?

Chuck Norris' view on the media coverage of the war: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29728

I read this article, and initially thought, "How typical. I'm not surprised that the media would not be giving credit to the current administration for anything positive". Then I thought about it, and wondered if what this article is stating is true. I did some research, and found out the following information about the number of US casualties in Iraq over the last two twelve month periods.

Dec. '07 thru Nov. '08: 317 total deaths, an average of less than 27 per month.

Dec. '06 thru Nov. '07: 952 total deaths, an average of just over 79 per month.

I don't know a lot about war, but this certainly would seem like a positive story, and something that the media would want to celebrate. Of course I am not implying that the deaths of 317 soldiers is something that anyone should celebrate, but reducing the amount to one-third of what is was just 12 months ago is a move in the right direction. Even those completely opposed to this war would have to agree.

You may not be a fan of Chuck Norris, but he certainly is making some sense in this article. Feel free to share your opinions below, I would love to hear what you have to say about this subject.
