The MSM's real problem...

...all of the news stories in the Iraqi newspapers paid for by the Pentagon is that its all fact based and pro-American.
Though the articles are basically factual, they present only one side of events and omit information that might reflect poorly on the U.S. or Iraqi governments, officials said. Records and interviews indicate that the U.S. has paid Iraqi newspapers to run dozens of such articles, with headlines such as "Iraqis Insist on Living Despite Terrorism," since the effort began this year.

So they are basically the truth, but they don't trash the President and the US Military enough.

From Chicago Tribune: U.S. military paying Iraqi editors to publish propaganda

Reality check, definition of propaganda:
2 : the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person

3 : ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause

Hmm... Ok, so its for trying to promote a cause or to damage an opposing cause. Ok, sounds good to me.
