So… not long ago we had a discussion about why certain news organizations decided against running any stories about the sarin gas shell which was discovered in Iraq. Now we’ve captured Al-Zarqawi’s associate, and he is providing information to Al-Zarqawi’s location… but somehow this is not anywhere on CNN’s or NY Time’s website.

Is this news? Now remember Al-Zarqawi is responsible for coordinating attacks for Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and is thought to be the one who beheaded Nick Berg. It would seem to me that this would be big news, but maybe it’s just me…

Fox News: Featured as headline
CNN News: N/A
NY Times: N/A

However, CNN and NY Times are headlining the fact that the UN says the prison abuse is a ‘war crime.’ Interesting priorities each has.

Sy I think this is getting broad coverage.

From Google news this is the 1st page (of 3 pages). Even the New York Times which many of you think is left wing is covering it.

If its newsworthy everyones going to cover it eventually.

Perhaps check out Google news before you raise the liberal media bias thing.

Funny that I don't see CNN on the above links you posted... what's your thoughts on that?

I think it is quite obvious that the majority of the media outlets are liberal. I don't ever remember our major papers endorsing a republican for president.

Robby,

Not that I consider this a good or bad thing, but how do you come to refer to me as a neo-lib? Where in any of my posts have I ever indicated, through actions or words, that I am some kind of extreme liberal? Very curious.

B

For the record, I consider myself a moderate liberal. I don't vote based on party (I voted for Reagan and other republicans) but rather on whether I think a person will help 1) our country and 2) me and my family.

I am on record as saying I will not vote for either Bush or Kerry. I do not feel either of them deserve to be priveledged enough to be our president nor do I think either of them is (Bush) or would be (Kerry a good President for my country or me.
