Well, it's official - the "News" can't handle the news

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

How strange that none of the networks or even cable stations are capable of discussing the news that the blogs have been discussing all day - the agreement between Al-Talibani and Iran and the defection of the Al-Sadr part of the Iraqi government. I have just started hearing about Al-Sadr, but not a whisper of the other.

They are still just debating endlessly the stupid spin about the missed meeting. And they are afraid to report that like anyone with a lick of common sense would. "It was just a Courtesy meeting" yeah, right.

1. well, really quick, one could contrast the home page of Huffingtonpost

with that of MSNBC.

One is reporting the Iran/Iraq alliance and ramifications and one is not. So which is the MORE legitimate breaking news source?

2. Run... no FLEEE from cable news and go back to local

at least they still do "news" on the local stations in my area

3. I noticed that, too.

Maliki's snub has more to do with the security agreement with Iran than any stupid memo the Bush Administration leaked - and this is why they leaked it. To get all the made-up mynas to talk about the memo and not the important event of the day.
