"News"

So I'm watching the Today show, which has covered the Duke lacrosse players, Don Imus, and American Idol. But the apparent attack, inside the Green Zone, on the Iraqi parliament building this morning got a quick mention. I'm sure that this is a "developing story," but is it really the case that NBC News doesn't have someone in the Green Zone ready to cover a "breaking story"? That the Iraq clusterfuck is just not . . . newsworthy any longer?

This is how government can perpetuate a perpetual war . . . by keeping it off the front page. And off the television.
