Iraqi's want US to stay awhile

Journalists aren't propagandists. They're supposed to seek out things going wrong, in the vast majority case, and especially during war, or during an occupation.

Journalism is reporting everything significant. When you seek to focus on only the good or the bad that is propaganda. War and occupation usually means there will be more negative things not that these should be the only things reported on.

That doesn't mean they have to abandon objectivity, just that they remember their role.

Their role is to convey to people who recieve their information an accurate perception of what is happening. It is a clear sign a media source has abandoned objectivity when it's reports show only dissent and conflict in a situation where the majority of people involved view it positivly.
