News Headlines in the Real World, not the One in Which we are Confined At least if you live in America. A website like CNN's should report the news from Iraq in THIS manner, in order: -- 11 American Soldiers killed in Separate attacks in Iraq; -- Baghdad Newspapers see photos of Prisoner Abuse for the First Time; -- Jt. Chiefs' Chair Meyers claims abuse isolated incidents, admits has not read 53-page report; -- Doubts about American claims of Foreign Fighter presence in Iraq; -- Settlement in Fallujah appears to be collapsing; -- Hostage Thomas Hamill free, may have escaped. That, in the opinion of this blogger, should be the order of headlines. In the reality of the irreleality, the last item is the most reported, some of the others are not reported. And significant in their bare mention are those eleven soldiers paying the ultimate price. At the moment, there is NO MENTION of 11 soldiers dying on FoxNews.com; nor on CNN.com; at the moment at least, MSNBC does not have its HTML programed by Joe Scarborough. Apparently Sinclair isn't the only organization trying to ignore such sacrifice.
