The Sarin Story

Like many bloggers, I'm a news junkie and get my updates from many sources throughout the day.   This morning's Sarin artillery shell is a big story and I did a quick check on how it was carried on some major news site.

As of ~6:00 pm PST -

FoxNews gives the story the front page treatment I think it deserves (including the prominent caveat - "more analysis of field test results needed") -

ABCNews leads with the other important story, the death of the Head of the Iraqi Governing Council and how the "shocking loss" deals a "cruel blow" to peace in Iraq.   Sarin is reduced to a scrolling news item and the first sub-bullet -

CNN decided, however, that a Busy Hurricane season  deserved it's top slot.   The Sarin story was buried as a "related development" to the swearing in of a new Iraqi Governing Council leader.


 

I report, you decide.    My hunch is that whatever your opinion of FoxNews - it's just been confirmed
