Press accused of ignoring beheading***WEST CHESTER, Pa. — Friends and neighbors of hometown businessman Nicholas Berg said yesterday his beheading by Islamists in Iraq has been underplayed by journalists, who are devoting more attention to the Iraqi prisoner-abuse scandal.

"This is typical of journalism," said Bruce Hauser, a next-door neighbor and longtime friend of the Berg family. "Bad news is hot when it's hot. Now it seems like 72 hours after we learn about [Mr. Berg's] death, we've gone from the front page to page 3 or page 7." ***

Perhaps they want more than 15 minutes of fame.

Perhaps they want a more public "Diana" display.

Sooner or later the Criminal Media will piss off just about everyone in this country. When that level of saturation has been reached, we may begin to see responsible journalism.

Or perhaps, like me, they want a LITTLE perspective and a LITTLE relief from the two week orgy of breastbeating and recrimination which the RATmedia has been indulging in.

This hysteria is unbearable and shows that the greatest enemy America has is the RATmedia.

Actually I agree with them, this should have been leading the news. Certainly an American citizen getting his head sawed off on TV by Islamic subhumans should have had more lead time than a naked terrorist with panties on his still intact head. These people are obviously not aware of the liberal bias in the news,and that the media was using the "abuse" to bring down the President.
