Biased? No...
This article from BBC News is a perfect example of bias without actual information. Talk to any soldier returning from Iraq; even speak with legitimate journalists. They all say that things are getting better in Iraq. The biggest complaint coming from troops in Iraq, constistently since the beginning of the invasion is that the whole story isn't being told by the media.
The article paints with broad strokes, it uses little or no real, factual information to demonstrate the points that it makes. One of the most aggravating lines is this:
Anyone who knows anything about Iraq knows that the Sunnis are a minority, comprising only about thirty percent of the population. Most of the terrorists (not insurgents) are Sunnis, because they had an advantage under the old regime. Allow me to demonstrate the mediocrity of this argument...
Or what about this paragraph?
Notice there's no mention of the fact that the Marines made an example of Fallujah and killed thousands of terrorists, and seized thousands of weapons. There's only fleeting mention of the fact that the highest ranking cleric in Iraq, Ayatollah al Sistani, is supporting the elections.
The Fly: proving once again that the liberal media is only telling you half the story.

Power was formally handed over to President-Elect Lincoln upon inauguration, but this government failed to develop popular legitimacy, especially in the heartland of the rebellion, the Confederate areas of the Southern United States.

On the security front, things went from bad in 2003 to worse in 2004. The insurgents, whether nationalist or Islamic, gained in strength and even took over the city of Falluja.
