However, the media doesnt give the cover this story deserves. I guess naked photos of suspected terrorists are the real crime. Either on the radio or an article here, perhaps both, some media type was explaining that as the result of the medias focus on negative news stories, thus Abu Gharab is crowding out other stories.
In the last few weeks we've had a beheaded American, four incinerated Americans, a murdered family in Israel, along with the offer of a body parts for prisoners exchange, Christians slaughtered by the hundred in both the Sudan and Nigeria and an attack in Thailand by machete wielding motorcyclists, dealt with efficiently by the Thai military.
Why didn't any of these stories dominate the media, individually or cumulatively. Not enough blood and gore, or no political angle?

Because the iddy-biddy window our media has built for us to view the world is made of it's own stained glass.

Because these stories indirectly help GW in his fight in the war on terror, these stories tell us that fighting and eradicating these savages is the right thing to do and the main media, the Democrats, and the leftists can't allow that. This goes against their leftist beliefs.
