'Iraqi soldiers for the first time warned residents in the embattled Sadr City district to leave their houses Thursday, signaling a new push by the U.S.-backed forces against Shiite extremist who have been waging street battles for seven weeks.'

You know??? The street battles that have been on the front pages of your newspaper and News website! The street battles that have been a hot topic for discussion on the cable news channels! The street battles that have all the punditry writing columns and op eds. No headlines, you say? No discussion on the cable news networks? No op eds? But thats just crazy!

Its almost as if the news outlets don't want to discuss what is going on in Iraq now its completely obvious who has won. But surely thats grotesque manipulation of the news agenda, you say. That would be like The Times or the Daily Mirror ignoring the Burma campaign or the Battle of the Bulge because they were in a strop because the allies were definitely going to win. And yes, it is. Its childish, its pathetic and it actually defies belief that the idiots at the major news outlets would let their politics so distort their work. It takes un-professionalism to new lows.
