The New York Times > Opinion > Editorial: Message From Iraq

Grudgingly, the Times editorialists praise the turnout in the Iraqi elections. The lesson for me reading the liberal media is they do not represent the facts consistently. In the runup to the elections, most of the reporting was glum concerning likely turnout. The reality of what people will do is often missed in the frequently slanted reporting from a difficult, violence ravaged region.

We must remember, as the Times points out, this is only step one in a long process. Euphoria should be avoided.
