Frank Rich: Why the television networks 'canceled' the war in Iraq
Perhaps the public prefers a little skirmish of Israeili with Hez? Read on.......

Referring to a report that Iraq coverage on the three major network evening newscasts dropped 60 percent since 2003, New York Times columnist Frank Rich argues that the war has been "canceled" partly because the American viewing audience may not have the "stomach to watch" such a "big, nightmarish story" that has garnered the "specter of defeat," and which "lacks the thread of a coherent plot," RAW STORY has found.
