what is hands down the biggest story every day in the world will get almost no coverage

This from ABC News:

Brides gotta run, planes gotta stray, and cable news networks gotta find a way to fill a lot of programming hours as cheaply as possible. (CNBC gets to talk about the booming April retail sales numbers, and the NRA's television network will replay the Secretary of State on Larry King over and over.)

We say with all the genuine apolitical and non-partisan human concern that we can muster that the death and carnage in Iraq is truly staggering.

And/but we are sort of resigned to the Notion that it simply isn't going to break through to American news organizations, or, for the most part, Americans.

Democrats are so thoroughly spooked by John Kerry's loss —- and Republicans so inspired by their stay-the-course Commander in Chief —- that what is hands down the biggest story every day in the world will get almost no coverage. No conflict at home=no coverage.

Astounding. Just astounding. No wonder Americans tolerate this war. No wonder so many Americans have zero understanding of just what exactly is going on over in Iraq. No wonder so many Americans don't know who is really fighting the U.S. in Iraq, labeling all the "insurgency." No wonder so many Americans don't know the real death toll in Iraq. No wonder so many Americans think "freedom is on the march" in Iraq. No wonder so many Americans are in the dark as to the pervasiveness of the carnage in Falluja caused by American soldiers. No wonder so many Americans don't know about the use of napalm in Falluja. No wonder so many Americans are ignorant ... period.

I gave up watching network news, cable news and local news around November 2004, when it became obvious to me that what was being dispensed was not news at all, but pre-packaged crap that some corporate hot shot believes will bring in ratings. And now, with the comments above directly from the ABC-Horses-Mouth, they admit it. News is runaway brides, not the Iraq war.
