I just googled news stories for: five killed Iraq-and came up with only 8 stories despite 1st report

[fed-up]

I'm still waiting for the SFGate to update their home page, the story of three killed has sunk way down the page

and my local paper has no mention on it's front page

raq's Maliki threatens to bar Sadr from vote
Peter Graff, Reuters Published: Monday, April 07, 2008


BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's prime minister raised the stakes in his showdown with followers of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, saying in an interview broadcast on Monday they would be barred from elections unless their militia disbands.

The comments followed raids on Sunday by security forces into the cleric's Baghdad stronghold, the slum of Sadr City, which brought heavy fighting back to the capital after a week of relative calm when Sadr called his militia off the streets.

U.S. forces reported two more deaths across Iraq on Sunday, bringing the single day toll to seven, making it one of the deadliest days for American troops since the arrival of extra forces last year reduced violence over the second half of 2007.

4. I was specifically looking for most current articles w/updated total which is now 7

My point was that the news articles are avoiding/delaying that there were 5 (now 7) US troops killed in one day

That should have been the headline

not a blurb buried in an article

5. I realize and agree. I'm only showing that more articles are there.

Early AM on Monday is not the most active time for the journalism cycle, but the reporting is there.

That said, we do not know if 99% or 98% of outlets are propaganda organs :rofl:

[fed-up]

7. I'm beginning to think it is 99.99%.............nt

6. msm got their iraqi talking orders and are strictly adhering to them
