Agreed. Their inattention to this huge story and obessession with the sniper speculate-a-thon is unbelievable.
The only reason I could see for it not to be covered is not to alarm world financial markets that the capitols of US & Russia are simultaneously undergoing terrorist hostage situations.
What other reason could it be? That it's a boring story? That it's pre-determined to end in love & peace? What?
