    Because you are only asking a certain portion of reporters the question. This doesn’t take into account ALL reporters or the news bureaus. Taking a look at this I could say that it is very biased.

    The fact that the U.S. media claims that they killed a large number of Mujahideen – an empty enemy propaganda. Media is controlled by the invaders, so they simply spread the "news" that best match their goals, but this does not mean that such "news" correspond to the truth.

    The true picture of the war did not reach the eyes and ears of the world. As a result, people begin to believe that their strong day and night. However, this is a lie. Because in fact, in the battles in Mardzhahe still martyred mujahideen only 40, and 60 were wounded.

    Painting is the loss of the enemy is as follows. Using mines and grenades, Mujahideen destroyed more than 150 units of armored and other vehicles of the enemy. The destruction of military equipment have been killed or wounded at least 600 enemy soldiers.

    Also contact the fighting took place, which killed and wounded at least 200 enemy soldiers.

    The Afghan population supports us 100%. It provides us with food, clothing and financial support. Without the support of the local population we would not have been able to defeat the enemy. "

    Mullah Hadji Mohammad told the American enemy of Afghans:

    "American democracy – is rotting society. Americans buy more drugs than any other nation in the world. In America, more mentally abnormal, than any other nation in the world.

    Inflated to giant size of the binge-eating and fat tolstyachek they, too, more than in any other country. The highest murder and crime in the world – also in America.

    With all these indices America still has the audacity to hold forth what she is "great country".

    As American soldiers, I’ll be frank with you. Most American invaders – cowards. If they did not have helicopters and military aircraft to support, they would not have stayed in Afghanistan and a month.

    On the other hand, the enemy does have a few brave soldiers from all the invaders. Most brave soldiers – Canadians.

    I would like to appeal to all freedom-loving peoples in the world. America – the main terrorist nation in the world. Join forces to fight jointly with the American terrorism, which poses a threat to peace, because the foundation of America itself – the immorality and vanity, greed and lust with excess.

    This was their way of life. In order to rid the world of American terrorism, we must unite against a common enemy … ".

    Funny I have never heard of an instance where the press was not allowed to print anything they want, although the 0bama administration is advocating forcing the talk radio people to pay for equal time for the liberals, because no one wants to listen to their crap.

    Before asking such a question, you might want to find a better source than wikipedia. Some reports account for the press freedoms decreasing. It depends on where you get the information from.
