One result is that, as the war claims fewer American lives, Iraq is fading from TV screens. The three network evening newscasts devoted 423 minutes to Iraq this year as of Dec. 19, compared with 1,888 minutes in 2007, said Andrew Tyndall, a television news consultant.

A drop of 78%.

Let me cynically point out that good Iraq war news didn't fit the "failed policies of the past" Obamedia playbook.
