I'm beginning to wonder whether our MSM (television) is not reporting this because it casts the Islamists in a negative light. I know that's a harsh assessment, but why am I only seeing the story on BBC?

CNN did have a very brief headline report about the taking of Mogadishu, but little detail.

I would think the opportunity to report on this non-PC battle would trump all reasons to report, but I think this battle was way too dangerous for regular chicken-shiite reporters. No guarantees for your safety if you try to embed with these government troops.
