As I remember, press coverage of the Grenada invasion was quite positive -
far more positive than the press reaction in much of the rest of the world
(as sampled by "World Press Review", anyway). Why go back and say "Ronnie  
wa right after all" when they (essentially) said Ronnie was right the
first time? Nothing like unbiased views of the news media...

I'm a little tired of this anti-press BS. Who would you rather get your news
from? The Reagan Administration (ha!)? Mobil Corporation (ha ha!)? No thanks.
I'll take the sensationalist press with all its faults any day - at least I
know what ax *they're* grinding.
