1. How come I'm not seeing this on cnn.com etc.?

On edit: MSNBC has it at the top, FOX news has it, CNN does not... nowhere I can see.

2. TERROR.....................

TERROR,TERROR! That's the news, they're trying to spin the terror alert.

3. Because CNN is the new White House whore and takes orders

directly from Rove.

4. They've been downplaying US soldier casualites for a while, now

Must've got their marching orders. No more body counts.

5. for quite a while

You have to look pretty hard to find casualty reports, cept if you come to DU

6. You guys are so right

you can't find any of the media mentioning the deaths of our soldiers or even what the hell is going on there-the media is so in the pocket of El Shrubbo that the foreign policy consequences of this nation are not even REPORTED ON-besides spending our blood we are also spending our treasure in Iraq and there has been precious little reporting where the billions of dollars are going=dark times indeed

7. Okay, I've figured it out. CNN.com's new deal is this: They NEVER

have U.S. troop deaths as a headline on their webpage anymore. If ANYTHING ELSE at all happened there, whether it's the Ladies Auxiliary Bake Sale, or Paul Bremer kissing a baby, THAT is the headline story on the home page. The death of the U.S. soldier(s) is then buried in a paragraph in the middle of their story.

You can look at their current web page and see this strategy at work.
