But this is all biased interpretation anyway ont he parts of AL and WG. What they perceive as paramount news goes unreported. Some people want other things to get more reporting. That its reported isn't the question, as AL said. Its about it not being given the weight that some think it deserves. And why? Must every publication put every atrocity around the world front and center? Why are then Islamic atrocities so significant? There are atrocities all over the world that aren't even reported. Ask someone about East Timor and see how many strangers you'll go through before you get more than a quizzical look.

Once again its a matter of spin. So what if it isn't on page 1 or 2 or 3? If someone wants to know they'll go looking for it. And thanks to CNN and Fox News you always hear for 5 hours about the latest terrorist attack or attempt. I remember browsing the news channels in the immediate aftermath of the recent London car bombs. After a few hours CBC moved on to other stories but still updated, so did BBC. But CNN just kept going and going and going, repeating irrelavent information and interviewing people with only vague conjecture to offer.

But again, if you care then you will find the information. Those taht don't care will just gloss over it anyw ay if its upfront. And if you feel the need to have the population so carefully controlled in their thought impulses then you have an odd argument on your hands, but that I don't suspect is what you mean, AL.
