Mr. President, Why is All the News Coverage on Iraq So Negative?

This is from a Q&A with Bush at one of his informative "townhall" meetings on March 22. You know, the "townhall" meetings at which the crowd must swear on the Bible that they pray for Bush every night before bed:

QUESTION:I ask you this from the bottom of my heart for a solution to this, because it seems that our major media networks don't want to portray the good. (Standing Ovation!) They just want to focus...

BUSH: OK, hold on a second.

QUESTION: They just want to focus on another car bomb or they just want to focus on some more bloodshed or they just want to focus on how they don't agree with you and what you're doing, when they don't even probably know how you're doing what you're doing anyway. But what can we do to get that footage on CNN, on Fox, to get it on Headline News, to get it on the local news?

She has a point. How can we get this footage on CNN and Fox? (Warning: graphic images)
