In all fairness.
Its because Iraq made the better news story with the major media.
It is also easier for them to report on.
Same thing happened to a lessor exent in WWII.
Mosy of the big name media guys wet east to Europe then to the Pacific.
where the reporters could go live in the air in relitive comfort.
