[nostamj]

5. yes!

I posted that front page image in the same "DEVASTATING" thread

THREE funeral photos, beginning ABOVE the fold.

signficant!

6. not just the cover

but also inside... one full page of photos of every single one of the 80 or so deaths so far this month... it was quite touching to see a name and face to the "casuaties"... i couldn't put it down... all those young people -- dead for a lie.

[nostamj]

7. wow

I don't get the print version.

CNN also has a page with ALL the photos, names here:

8. NYT, CNN, CBS all starting to show the dead at the same time.

This is not a coincidence. My bet is that the instructions have gone out to take down the Shrub. Somewhere, someone with a LOT of power has decided that having Bush around is no longer a good idea.

9. It's about time.

The media has ignored their deaths for too long.

[Ivote]

10. Tweety

even held up a picture of the page showing all the pictures on his show. I think the tide is turning.

11. You're right, it's been too long, but I don't think it was

a decision to take down the Shrub.

I heard a talking head the other day say that Bushco had really pissed off the Press in the past few months, and they have taken the gloves off.

I think they see his vulnerability and are now going to call it like they see it.

Rove and Co must be really upset that they seem to be losing the control of the media.
