North Korea Blinks, Where's the MSM Reporting?

[toddwv]

Just curious but are they saddened that the situation didn't cascade into war?

The reason I ask is because they didn't just not attack over the live fire drills, apparently they have also agreed to re-admit nuclear inspectors and sell 12,000 plutonium rods as well as re-opening peace talks. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/21/north-korea-pulls-back-envoy

So the dance continues but looking through a few front pages

MSNBC: no mention
CNN: small blurb in latest news
Yahoo: no mention
Fox "News": shouldn't have even bothered to waste my time...

So why the dearth in stories about a topic that was top of the news less than a week ago?

1. Perhaps the M$M is too busy counting their money from the Rotten Deal tax cuts.

The M$M are not journalists.

2. Is a North Korean Promise

really worth anything?

Until they decide to rattle sabers again to get something. They know how to play the world like a fiddle.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

4. There is a reason my source for news on this is

both tweeter and BBC...

5. "No News" is no news...

Until something dramatic happens, this isn't a story they feel is going to interest the -average- reader (and they're probably right).

6. There's a missing Vegas showgirl- get with it!

8. There was a big headline in my fishwrap saying "North Korea Backs Down..."

:shrug:

[gratuitous]

10. Did North Korea blink or did it fail to rise to the bait?

Besides, negotiations and agreements don't make stuff blow up reel gud.

11. like they say

If it bleeds, it leads. No bloodshed, no news
