U.S. media curtail Iraq war coverage...

'WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. media reporting of the war in Iraq fell sharply in the second quarter of 2007, largely due to a drop in coverage of the Washington-based policy debate, a study released Monday said.

Taken together, the war's three major story lines -- the U.S. policy debate, events in Iraq and their impact on the U.S. homefront -- slipped roughly a third, to 15 percent of an index of total news coverage, down from 22 percent in the first three months of the year.

The study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism examined 18,010 stories that appeared between April 1 and June 29. Its "News Coverage Index" encompasses 48 outlets, including newspapers, radio, online, cable and network television.

The project is a research group studying and evaluating press performance. It describes itself as nonpartisan, nonideological and nonpolitical. The index is designed as an audit of a broad cross-section of U.S. news media.'

No real info- purposely about "surge", bombings & deaths till Sept 15?

And one can bet Bush's 9-11 speech will be pushing massive terrorism fear and saying; just how much better everything is doing in Iraq, with the occupation and his escalation and how we need to go into Iran to finish the job!

Anything to force us and deeply involve us, to keep the war for corporate profits going for many more years!

means that the doofi and the dumbshits amongst us won't be forced to look at the world as it is now since the neocons and republicans have been running things.

This is just part of what I think KKKarl is working on. In 2004 they hid a lot of shit and didn't report it until after the election. (Especially the NYT.)

That's why they want, they need, to shut the 'internets' and the bloggers up.

if we can't see it it just isn't there. :(
