We get most of our coverage from AP, Reuters and (in the case of my local newspaper) UK newspapers the Guardian, Telegraph and Independent (they are across the political spectrum).
The simple answer is no - it isn't reported any different. Actually, I'd suspect it is MORE pessimistic. Not much rebuilding is going on because the insurgency is taking up the resources, so I'm not sure what "good news" there is to report.
Last time I read something about it, there were two groups fighting - one is extremists (often not Iraqis), the other disillusioned Iraqis with no job and no hope. The latter group was much larger based on what I read. It's a bit chicken and egg really - I can imagine the circumstance where they'd be happy but have no freakin idea how you get them there.
