Troop withdrawals -- more predictable reaction

In reporting the news of the impending troop withdrawals announced by the President today, ABC News immediately pointed out that the withdrawals will do nothing to help "beleaguered" troops in Iraq. Apparently, ABC has missed the news that casualties in Iraq have fallen to all time lows. In fact, most injuries are now related to accidents not combat. ABC still has to portray the troops who won this war as victims rather than the heroes that they are. They need rescuing since they are "beleaguered" not congratulations for all that they have achieved.

If anyone ever wanted to understand why the ratings for mainstream media news shows are falling off a cliff, they need only see the clear bias in this report which will be anathema to an enormous segment of everyday Americans.
