It can hard find optimistic journalism. The stories are generally not as well received and are read less. But can't the journalists at least try? Recently President Obama announced that another surge of troops would be happening. Looking at CNN's website for their political pieces, one finds articles with titles such as:
Key points of Obama's strategy | Will it work?
Senators question 2011
Afghan exit plan, Lawmakers Wednesday on Capitol Hill sharply criticized President Obama's plan to start a U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan in July 2011.
President's Afghan drawdown plan called risky
Afghanistan timetable may be too short to achieve its aims but too long to hold American public support, observers say.
It would pretty nice if at least some of the articles could show some optimism, or if they could at least not be pessimistic. Even they don't want to support the President, some support for the troops is always welcome. As Backseatsman said so well, they are doing an awesome job and deserve our support. Why can't we at least show some optimism for their sake?
